Better than original?

A while back i owned the 3ds, the red one, around the time when the 3ds was first introduced. That particular 3ds of course was not an XL. The 3ds XL is designed to be bigger but smoother than its counterpart. The original 3ds had sharp edges while the XL has smoother edges for those days you take it on the go. Another notable feature is the hinges. The reason i no longer had my red 3ds was that one fateful morning the hinges on the back-side had broken and thus the system was hanging from one side. Needless to say said 3ds is no longer operational. The 3ds XL seems to be more sturdier and smoother(not to mention the fact that this particular one is limited edition).
