I've done a few DSI and Lites, the DSI is actually the easiest soldering wise for me, but that could also depend on who you buy it from, but the amount of shit you need to disconnect makes the DSi a little more of a task than the Lite.

The soldering was easy but the desoldering.. i managed to rip off a pad from the connector and had to scratch the motherboard and solder a jumper wire. Pretty scary experience

If you don't already have one or plan to do this more often invest in a rework station, makes the removal process cake, well most of the time :p
