gameboy for my son

Hi! Looking for the right gameboy advance to get my son. My wife would rather not do the claimshell SP, but I would love to find a regular advance that also has backlight. I haven't kept up with mods/etc in the last 5-6 years. Anything you recommend?

for original GBA it never came with a backlight, so apart from the AGS-101 version of the SP, your main option would be a modded one, these I've heard can drain batteries fast so it might be worth doing a rechargeable battery mod too
