There's a reason that when people wax nostalgic about the DS they're picturing the Lite over the original DS. I can't think of any other console where a later design revision is so much more ingrained in the public consciousness; even with the GBA where the SP was generally seen as an upgrade it'll still be 50/50 at most whether they post an image of the SP or the original purple blob.
I mean, just compare them side-by-side. The Lite matches the design language of the Wii and the iPhone and everything else people associate with that sleek 2006ish era even though it came out in 2004 while the original is a Nintendium brick that looks like it comes from the late 90s or early 2000s, being handily one-up'd in cool factor by the SP which was almost a couple years old at that point.
