Question about the analog stick

I don't know if this is just my OG 3DS but i hate the analog stick, while my friends XL feels like heaven.

Does anyone know if the new (small) 3DS will have the same, sweet analog stick? I would love it to have a slightly bigger screen than the OG and the design of XL without them jaggies.

What do you hate about the analog stick? Personally I find mine to be too slippery.

I'm just hoping for a decent damn D-pad that doesn't feel like it's about to fall off and clicks everytime you move a tiny bit.

@angethedude: yeah slippery and then there is some resistance when i press it down, so it creates a strain on my thumb trying to balance "keeping control of it" and "don't press too hard". Shit description, but i haven't tried other ones.
