Personally I don't see the $50 price difference as being as big a deal as backwards compatibility.
I have Gameboys all the way back to the original monochrome (still working fine) as well as Color and Advance and Micros in the house. If I do buy a handheld for the family it would likely be a DS just because of the backwards compatibility and not because it is slightly cheaper.
On the console side I HATE Nintendo and am a total Sony fanboy but for handhelds it makes sense to buy the product that is backwards compatible (to some extent).
(With the announcement of REMOTE PLAY for the PSP I might just pick one up for that feature alone but not for fames!)

Well the DS Lite is only compatible from Gameboy Advance and onwards. It is NOT compatible with Gameboy and Gameboy Color.
The PSP is compatible with almost all Playstation One games! Either through Sony's Online Store or through various custom firmwares and ISO files.
