Does anyone know if the more recent PS Vita's are better built than the launch models?

I have the choice between buying my friend's PS Vita second hand or getting a brand new one. His apparently has a dead pixel, a severe "mura" effect when the screen is black and squeaky shoulder buttons. Does anyone with a more recent Vita suffer from any of these problems?

Well, dead pixels suck but I haven't heard of it being common and this is the first case I've heard of a Vita having it, it is probably under warrenty for that. The mura effect might be unavoidable but it is not an issue as it is only visalbe in the dark during a completely black screen.

The original Vita's do suffer from a squeaky left trigger which can be fixed for the most part with a screw adjustment, loosen and tighten. Mine has been eliminated. My wife has a white Vita and hasn't suffered from that and it seems that the plastic that makes it feels different, but the system is essentially the same and the build quality is both excellent.
