>>16403392Get the 3DS XL. I was in the same situation as you and got the XL. I don't regret spending one single € on this lovely piece of hardware.
I paid about 230€ for a copy of Y, the XL and also a nice bag to store it safely.
This is not much concerning how much fun I had with this device since the release of pokemon X/Y.
tl;dr Go for the 3DS XL anon.
