OP, I own 3 SX mini's and they are great devices but the name Mini isn't real accurate. It's heavy and not what I would consider traveling pocket friendly. I also own some isticks but when I travel they can be a pain because the battery dies at the worst time and you can't simply swap the battery. Personally I went and held a bunch of different devices and the ipv D2 is the smallest of the bunch. It allows you to do a battery swap and doesn't add much weight to your pocket. There are others that probably exist that meet the same standards I just don't own one.....yet.
