I'd say go for it. From what you described, it seems as though the DS would be perfect for you. It is really a great system with really good games of the types you say. Besides not having extra features like music and stuff which you already sayed you don't care for, and being a generation behind the PSP in terms of graphics, the DS beats the PSP hands down. Although I do not own a PSP, it seems as though the DS has better quality games and an even larger variety of games. The touch screen and dual screens give the DS the ability to make really unique games that could not have been made on any other system.
Games I suggest for you:
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (action adventure)
Super Mario 64 DS (platformer)
Elite Beat agents (music)
Mario Kart DS (kart racing)
New Super Mario Bros. and Yoshi's Island (platformer)
Advance Wars: Dual Strike (strategy)
Castlevania: DoS, and PoR (platformer)
good luck!
