Battery life is improved. Larger size = more room for battery. Screen is nearly double, but no resolution upgrade. I use my 3DS near daily now but never "on the go" so larger size doesnt bother me.

I'll get the 3DSXL at some point, the $130 deal is good, far better than I expected, so thanks for that heads up Kazza. $250 seems to be the standard price for non-trade ins.
