This is my first New 3DS XL and I have to say it is amazing. When compared to my older 3DS XL, I can definitely notice the difference in resolution and color contrast. The addition of the C-Stick takes a little getting used to- and feels a bit stiff- but luckily most games either don't use it or have an alternative control scheme. The sound quality on this 3DS is also superior to my older one. My older one had a hollow/muffled sound; whereas the New 3DS XL has a nice, crisp, full-sounding set of speakers. The only negative aspect of this product is the fact that it does not come with a charger, so that can be a minor deterrent to someone who does not already own a 3ds.
