One thing to consider is that the XL's screens are a lot worse than the screens of the smaller model. They have a strange yellow touch (I've played on 3 different XL models now and all of them are yellowish... and yes, I know about the energy saving function 
). A regular 3DS with energy save mode on is less yellowish than an XL with energy save off. I can definitely say this is true because I've tested it thoroughly - I like the XL and I still consider buying one but the lower ppi + worse screen combo is really a step backwards.
On the other hand I think I read somewhere that newer models of the normal sized version have the same yellow touch - to save production costs, apparently. Mine is a launch model.
