3DS or 3DS XL? Which should I do?

Hello!

I have two DS's, I do want to get a board installed on one of them. The big question is, should I mod my 3DS since I use my XL more often out of the house (then just leave the 3DS plugged up for stream), or should I wait for the possible 3DS XL release and get it done there. I saw in a previous post that the XL version could POTENTIALLY be less cost which is appealing to me, and would allow me to still enjoy my games on a bigger screen.

Any opinions are well appreciated, thanks!

My personal go everywhere machines are my XL systems and I bought a regular 3DS to mod because I'll mostly be looking at the computer screen anyways when I'm streaming so the size won't affect me anyways. Figured creature comforts can come from my system I can take everywhere versus an expensive modded machine that I don't want to lose/drop/whatever.

I too would send in the original. I use my XL as my primary travel and play 3DS and figured I may as well send in my launch model since I really wasn't using it. Plus even if Loopy was doing XL's at the moment, I wouldn't send my Pikachu XL in. I would probably buy another one at that point.

A capture board is a big investment and it would be a shame to not be able to use it on as many games as possible, so I'd send in the one with the most eShop stuff on it.

It's also nice to have the capture board on your main 3ds because every once in a while something appears that you really want to record and won't be able to if you turn it off to swap the game card, or are away from your capture 3ds.
