Is the Lumia 1520 Still a Good Buy?

I can find a Lumia 1520 on eBay for about $170-$200 and I thought it's a good deal but I was wondering if the phone has really aged that much since it first came out.

Not much behind the Icon or 930 spec wise.

Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?

1520 has an SD card slot. 930 does not.
1520 has Glance, 930 doesn't,
1520 has killer battery life, 930 is not even close by all accounts.

Same SoC. Same RAM. Same Camera...

930 has AMOLED vs 1520 IPS LCD - highly subjective which is better.
Higher pixel density on 930 may thrill some, but the full HD 361ppi screen on the 1520 is very nice.

I shopped both these phones and found the 1520 delivered more features that mattered to me.

Subjectively, I would say the 930/Icon is a step behind.

Further evidence, 1520 comes in more radio configurations for more carriers around the globe.
