Oh c'mon.

I say pass on it, unless you can't find a better shipping deal, and even if you don't you should reconsider whether you really need one or not. Lack of a backlit screen can become really annoying. Now,  It isn't that much of a downside but you could regret it.

I was just wondering if it was a huge issue or if it's just blown out of proportion, I really need another GBA, and this is the cheapest I can get by far (Unless those German/French sellers who sell AGS101 models for like 5 euros get back to me on shipping to Israel).

Well, there are modfiying kits, or lighting accessories but I don't know if there are any that fit the SP.

I guess you should think about when and where you'll be playing it. If you generally play games in dark rooms, in transit, or at night you should pass. Play in bright rooms, or outside when it's sunny, go ahead and get it.
