Ahh I wouldn't bother buying a second one. :\ Maybe you could trade it in.
If you can afford it and really want a 2nd unit, I'd consider the 3DS XL. It's very nice and much easier on the eyes. It depends upon your age and eyes, but it helps mine. I'd also keep your original. Yep, trading between your towns is very nice and you'd always have a "back-up" if one of your units breaks or gets lost or stolen.
If you have siblings or others who may like to use your 3DS it's nice to have one that you don't worry quite as much over as you will have a newer one "just in case."
I have nephews and my older one got (and gets) dropped and abused like you wouldn't believe. So far it's fine, but I never let them touch my 3DS XL! Also, tho, all my ACNL games are physical so no town gets harmed or broken.
If money is a hardship for you, then reconsider just sticking with the one you have, or if the trade-in value is good, then go on and get a newer or upgraded version.
I prefer to keep my older one as it is in good condition (so far) and I feel more secure having one to play on to trade between towns and as the back-up in case a nephew accidentally does something to it.

I wouldn't, unless the cost is so prohibitive that the few bucks you may make is worth it. But it depends upon the value you'd get. All the shops my hubby and I have been to give you next to nothing, so it would not be worth it to trade it in at all.

From my responses, I do. My husband bought me a 3DS XL for my b-day this year and I'm also using his old one as the original and the one I trade with another town in and lend to my nephews when they are over. For my age and eyes, the new one is wonderful! I'm now spoiled with the larger screen that is so much easier on my eyes. In that way, it does do something your original can't. But most people here are much younger than me and vision and eyestrain isn't an issue.
For you it may just be a matter of how your finances are and personal preference.
Good luck deciding!
Second 3DS is totally useful if you need to trade villagers and items etc, but like said idk if it's actually worth it to waste hundreds for a game that you already have. I would buy a new one as well, but I personally don't feel like spending to much for it, since I already have one, but of course it's up to you 
Personally I don't see the point of having two 3DS'. Sure there are advantages such as trading with yourself, but is that really worth it in the long run? Will you still need the second 3DS when you get bored of ACNL? I wouldn't recommend it unless you have money to throw away - but that's just my opinion.
Good for you, then! If you're not at all sorry then it was the right decision for you. Have fun!
I'd probably have 2 copies of ACNL if I didn't smash my old 3DS to pieces. I'd be able to have a cycling town and probably have a better and easier time at getting villagers I want in my main town. Oh well...
If you really want to buy a second one, go for it, but if you're only using it for the sake of having another town, I wouldn't say it's worth it.
