Default Reasons to get a 3DS XL USA Vs 2DS Europe

So I'm getting a new system for my birthday.
I Made a pros and cons list for each system.
which one do you think i should get?
My games are european.

2DS Pros:
1.Having a New totally different system to play
2.Collecting all the variations of the systems
3.Since it's european still playing all my existing games
4.Stand out with a system not many people got
5.The feeling of something new.
6.I Like the design
7.Cheaper!

2DS Cons:
1.Watered down versions without some features
2.Smaller screens
3.The change of the design may be hard to get used to
4.Long gameplay might hurt my big hands, even tho i have no problems using the regular Aqua 3DS i own.
5.Stand out with a system not many people got

3DS XL USA:
Pros:
1.Playing games only released in USA
2.The feeling of something new.
3.Getting a rare limited edition
4.Everything about the XL is great
5.Games in the US are cheaper for me vs european games (dollar vs euro & pounds)

Cons:
1.There aren't many us-only games i want
2.I have 2 XL's already
3.more expensive

If you can afford to import a 3DS XL from US, then I don't really see any reason why you should go with the cheapo version that is the 2DS. It doesn't even fit into a pocket.

I'd go with the XL, especially if you're getting a special edition one. You could get the 2DS later whenever it's cheaper and/or there's a limited edition one you want.
