Topic: Can a N3Ds re-download games bought on an original system after a transfer?

I have my current 3DS system, which has a 8GB SD card. I have bought several games from the eShop, but the SD card is too small to fit all of them at once; as such, I've been deleting games that I'm not currently playing to make room for others for the time being, knowing I'll be able to re-download them later.

However, I am getting a New 3DS and a 32GB microSD card. If I were to perform a system transfer between the two consoles, would I be able to re-download my deleted games from the eShop from the new console? Or would I somehow need to have all my games downloaded at once before the transfer?

Yep I can second this. Couldn't fit Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney on my old regular 3DS but after the system transfer it was as easy as going onto the eShop and downloading it, and it was way, way faster than the 2 hours it originally took when I bought it in 2014.
