You should try them at a shop where there are one of those console totems before deciding.
I do believe that getting the regular 3DS with a few games for $ 150 is a better deal.
I myself prefer the regular one than the XL. Of course the Xl has some advantages, not only the larger screen but also better battery life (it lasts around 1 hour more than the regular battery). But I don´t like it. I feel that it is too big to fit in a pocket, it doesn´t feel like "portable" to me, and the sweet spot for the 3D effect must be wider. I also feel that some games actually look better on the smaller screen than on the xl screen ,like RE Revelations and SM3DL.
As for ergonomics, I have big hands, but I didn´t find problems with either model.
