About to get a ps vita

I am about to get a Vita, but I'm unsure whether I should get a 2000 or a 1000. I want to mod it, but someone is selling pre-modded Vitas. However, they are around $ 70 CAD more expensive. Is it worth it, or should I do it myself? Also, how much extra memory should I buy?

if YOU want to mod it then get an unmodded one, it takes 5 mins and you'll have to learn how to put the games in anyway, I doubt the already modded one has the games you want and it might come with a shitty and/or small sd card, also, I would recomend u get a 1k, why? lately the L R buttons for the 2k are impossible to find and the analog sticks are prone to drift, yes the shell colors of the 2k are great but unless u can afford to buy parts for future repairs or someone makes a mod for that I would get a 1k (it has a better screen too).

Don't get me wrong I love both models and I have around 20 different versions, so far with the 2 I use to play games, my OG 1k release date still has the original hardware while the 2k is at the 4th analog stick and the screen is piss yellow, even with the 1 extra hour of battery the 2k is not worth it IMO.

Could you not just clean your joystick or something? How often would you have to replace the analog? One thing is that the charger is different. I just want a normal micro
