Considering the amount of improvements (memory; more lightweight; supposedly more comfortable to hold & vastly improved battery life) compared to the one downgrade in the screen, I can see where he's coming from.

Kind of similar to what happened with 3DS XL really.  Released a much improved model in many ways but it had crap speakers compared to the original 3DS.

I wouldn't say that the screen issue is as clear cut as it seems, either.  Objectively I think OLED is better but it still suffers from burn in and mura effects and some of the colour pallette is a lot further off being "correct" than the LED screen.

I'm considering a Vita 2000 simply for the battery life & better ergonomics.  For me, the screen is a downgrade but the other improvements vastly outweigh that, so overall I'd consider it an improved version.

And I'd disagree.  The screen is the main part of the device.  It was one of the key selling points in all the original marketing by Sony for a reason.  The only reason it is being removed is cost... not to improve the device.  Lets at least be honest about it.

If mainstream consumers would care about screen quality the 3DS wouldn't sell. Yes the screen is a downgrade but no one who doesn't have side by side comparison will care. But what they do care about is the lower price, the smaller dimensions and the longer battery life.
