I'll throw in based on my experiences with the PSP go vs. any other model.
Until (or maybe unless) there is a price drop, there isn't much point in getting a Go at the moment, based mainly on it's lack of support from developers like Square-Enix,not being able to download or rip games you already own on UMD, and having to pay full price for electronic copies of games.
Don't get me wrong, I love my go, and it works great for the situation that I bought it for: being on deployment for 6 months, I can stock up on games and have a small, quick-pausing, PSP with me. The other big plus for me is having the digital comic reader (which seemed tacked on based on initial support). I don't think I've ever really bought comics before, but now I find that the Go is a good format to read them in. And with them giving at least a handful out for free, it gets you into series and genres that you might not normally read.
There's also the laziness factor. I hate trying to track down some obscure RPG for the PSP, and for whatever reason, the current PSN lineup is pretty robust, saving me the hassle.
In essence, the Go after a price drop would make a better addition to people who already have another PSP. My opinion would change on that if either or both of the situations I set out above changed or they started doing discounts on games similar to the way steam does.
