Should I buy an iPad Mini or an iPad 2?

I've decided I want to buy an iPad but don't wanna break the bank on getting one. I've found an iPad mini 16GB(that's enough for me) and an iPad 2 16GB both new for the same price. I'm mainly just going to be using it at home for games/youtube etc. I guess it comes down to is, is does the bigger screen of the 2 outweigh the newer software of the Mini? Please don't recommend a different type of tablet. Thanks for the help.

Update:

By the way, this is the regular Mini, not the retina one.

    I prefer the Mini. The first iPad mini is only $300 and iPad 2 is still $400. iPad 2 is almost 3 years old and The iPad mini is only a bit over a year. The iPad mini is lighter thinner and have better hardware than the iPad 2 like better camera, LTE, Siri. So get the iPad Mini its better. The iPad 2 is just not with it now.

    I'd prefer the mini ipad, it's lighter and smaller and does the exact thing as the iPad 2- (the camera is way better also) - but its up to you on picking the best one that fits your needs.
