The Vita is a lot smaller at least right? If all you are going to do is play retro stuff the deck might be overkill.
If I can get one of the refurbs for cheap and add my own larger drive I am def ready to get one though.

damn what do you do for work?
Any Chinese handhelds will do a better job than the Vita surely for less of the price, maybe ruling out PSP, PS1 and ofc VITA games.
