Thanks for explaining that. People just look at the model 1000 screen and just think about the colors, not thinking about the long term effects of oled vs lcd/led. That plus ignoring the extra things that the slim model has.I went for the OLED one because it was highly praised everywhere and was very disappointed with the mura effect. Maybe I was unlucky since it is just very noticeable on my screen and covers a big part of it but it is damn ugly and irritating, it bothers me a lot. I will never buy anything with an OLED display again.
Also, the OLED screens are more prone to degradation than the LCD ones, so it does not make sense to buy a device with a degradable display which are you going to use for pirating all the games. You would want it to last. Moreover, if you can’t compare OLED to IPS directly side by side you’ll never know the difference.
Vita Slim has better design: the leds are on the top side, you can’t see them normally, start/select buttons are easier to use, screen is glass instead of plastic, μUSB instead of a proprietary port, IPS screen uses less power, the system weighs less, it’s thinner, it’s slim, you know. It does not feel as sturdy as the Fat one, but it does not really matter.
I bought a Vita Slim and I think it’s superior. Extra 1GB of internal memory is useful too: e.g. you can keep emulators / ROMs there, just pop out the memory card and you'll be able to use it. The greatest advantage for me is no more irritating mura which drove me nuts.
