FW: Several disavantages on the DS Lite (John)

What you should do is find one on display or one someone owns. Generally,
people bitch about everything (including myself). We all have pet peeves and
they are very different. What may annoy me may be an improvement for you.

For instance, I do have small hands, the DS lite is definitely better for me
as far as that goes. The sound is quieter than the original DS, but that
doesn't mean it's so quiet you can't hear it. For me, I use headphones 90%
of the time when playing anyways, and the headphone volume is 100% the same.
Once again, for me this is not an issue.

It's best YOU try it out yourself and make your decision. It's good to hear
what people think and what bothers them but only let that effect about 35%
of your final decision. The remaining should be what YOU think after trying
it.
