I got a L535 just because my L1020 had to be sent to the service center, because it was the only phone that could be bought with the emergency budget and because I urgently needed a phone (Windows, of course), but if I had a few more financial room to move in I would have bought a higher-numbered Lumia (6xx+).
The L535 does well as a phone (SMS, call, chat, social media), but if you're looking for the other advertised perks and features of Windows phones (camera, gyro- and compass-related capabilities), it might be a bit disappointing.
