CAGiversary!
My GBA SP+'s screen sort of died a while back, and unfortunately it's out of warranty so it'll cost about $60 to get it repaired. I haven't got around to mailing it to Nintendo because I'm wondering if I should just pick up a Micro. But I can't decide which to get, so I'm asking you guys!
The main reason I'm thinking about a Micro is the size. It's small, sleek and pretty looking with a nice clear screen. It would be perfect to whip out when waiting, play for five minutes and quietly pocket it again. It also doesn't look as nerdy in public.
The difficulty with multiplayer doesn't affect me because I rarely use it. But the lack of GB/C support is a bit unnerving. I don't play my GB/C games all that often, but I do have some great games that the GBA has failed to provide a replacement for (or the game is just awesome regardless of GBA equivalent) such as Wario Land II, Link's Awakening, Mega Man Xtreme 2 or Dragon Warrior Monsters 2. It may also be hard to find one at a cheap price.
As for the GBA SP+, its pros are the larger screen, better L/R buttons, GB/C support and GBA/GCN connectivity (Pac Man Versus!!). Also, another pro would be that I can get my F-Zero GP Legend cart fixed as well.
Cons are the size... sort of. It's still compact and small, but not small enough that you can carry it everywhere. Also, there's obviously the whole issue with waiting a few weeks for it to return.
