The regular New 3DS XL looks better, this looks cheaper (cheap plastic), but it's good enough for kids.

Not really seeing who they're targeting with this. N2DS doesn't do much more than N3DS to convince original 3DS owners to upgrade to the "New" models. For best value there's already the original 2DS at $80 + MK7. I guess it'd be good for potential new owners who want the highest end model, but there can't be that many of those left.
