I was originally upset about the lack of a second circle pad, but I guess I've now changed my mind. Now that it has been confirmed that there will be a circle pad pro XL, in the end, it doesn't matter. Its nice to have the simplicity for games that don't need it, and bust out the CPPXL when you need it. I think it was mostly about expectations for me. I had the expectation it would have it, hence the initial shock. However, now, I am in the camp that it is not needed as part of the main system. Probably the best argument for me is that it would require ZR and ZL buttons as well, and that would be too thick for the main system. So the add-on option makes the most sense it turns out.
