New slim PSP worth it?

I used to own an original PSP but grew tired of it and traded it in. Now a year later I would like to have it again. How is the new slim PSP? Is it worth getting? In what ways is it better?

I traded my old one for a slim and really can't say which I like better. I have a black slim and it doesn't get anywhere near as dirty or fingerprinty as the old one due to slightly different materials/finish. The control pad is more responsive and the WiFi range seems better. The new feature intended to cut loading times isn't all that amazing but it does shave off a few seconds in many cases, which was the biggest selling point for me.

I liked the weight and sturdier feel of the older model PSP though. The UMD drawer was a better design as was the slot for the memory stick. Overall, I think it was a classier looking piece of hardware. It fit my hands better.

Also, I wanted to use the TV feature (to play games, not just movies) and didn't know it required component cables. I don't feel like buying a new television anytime soon and can only use AV so I was pretty disappointed about that.

The screen really is the same. The battery life is the same unless you put in a bigger battery. If you can get the older model for cheap there's no real reason to get a slim one. Both work just fine and have their good points.
