I’d try to find a used DI-LE. I can’t give a full comparison as I own DI but have only limited time on JP3 but I think enough people have chimed in to make it clear.. we are all different and have preferences for certain titles, for whatever reasons we have. DI is tough (for me) — to finish all the disasters and collect the sim letters Is a bitch and I’ve never got that close, which is what keeps me coming back for more.. plus awesome lights,sounds,modes, and programming. It’s quirky fun.
As others have said, it’s not that difficult to sell one or maybe trade if you don’t love it.. and if you buy used you won’t take a hit doing so. Take a little road trip.. I drove many hundreds of miles to pick mine up — good weekend fun.
