If you don't like the look of the S3, why do you like the Note2? it looks exactly like an S3 increased in size by 15%.
If I had known that the Note2 will be slightly smaller than the Note I would have waited for it instead buying an S3.
I don't think youll regret buying a Note2

2x the Ram
2 more Cores at 30% higher Clock
1024 instead of 256 pressure levels SPen
Hugely improved Software for S-Pen (see engadget)
Super Amoled with completely new pixel layout
I hardly call this a slight improvement, more like MASSIVE.
But your reaction is typical for owners of soon to be outdated devices. I often feel the same way

I'll prolly buy a Note2 next year when it's under €500
