As someone who has the New 3DS LL (Japan import), it's worth it. I mean, solely the fact that you can load and close Smash as an application instantly makes it a thousand times worth it. The C-Nub, the extra 3D capacities, ZL/ZR buttons and whatnot are just a side bonus. 
Oh, and by the way, certain games do not have reduced frame rate reductions when the 3D mode is activated. Pokemon is one of those games. I think it's a thing built into those games to make it not melt the original series of 3DSes by overloading it. Nintendo has stated this to be a thing in the past with other titles (such as reducing frame rates in Zelda when attacking multiple enemies with a spin attack, though they claim to do it for "added effect").
