Get a DSi not a DSL. Yes you lose out on compatibility and an old library of games; which you the OP has ignoref because clearly the GBA didn't appeal to you previously. If you get a DSi you won't get stuck with just the backwards games. The DSi does have more RAM and apx double CPU speed. While most games now will be for the DS it is assured that sooner or later there will be a DSi games. If you bought the DSL then you would need to upgrade to the DSi.

As for the games themselves. There is lots' of RPG games out there. Lots and Lots of them.

I don't think Nintendo would drop the 80M+ install base of the DSL just to add more features. DSiWare games, yes, but major DS titles are likely to have DSi-only features rather than exclude the whole market.

The OP missed out on a lot of great GBA games - how can you say he didn't like them if he never tried them? Anyone who has an interest in Mario Kart and Zelda is going to like a lot of their other first party titles [of which there were very few on the GB but a lot on the GBA].
