I own a Steam Deck OLED as well. I went the cheap route and got a 512 GB one from a friend that told me "Steam Deck is a problem because it monopolizes all my free time". I got a 2 TB 2230 SSD from the second hand market (sealed of course) and I absolutely love it. Not even the Ally X cannot make me trade my Steam Deck OLED. I strongly believe OLEDs should be present on all handhelds. Manufacturers should really think about OLEDs. Any game I throw at it (I even played RDR2) looks beautiful and plays extremely well. I am a big, big fan of NFS Porsche and I also did not touch it on my main desktop/gaming PC. NFS Porsche feels amazing on it. 10/10 would preorder a remake for NFS Porsche (even made by someone else other than EA).

I bought the 512 OLED recently as well my logic was if the 512gb drive isn't enough the 1TB won't be either so just get the cheaper one and upgrade the SSD if it becomes a problem. The other thing that sold me on the 512 was the screen I saw side by side as well as a test run on my friend's 1TB and that anti-glare screen looks like shit. It has a sort of frosted haze to everything and it really doesn't look like an OLED panel and while resolution isn't a big deal to me that haze over the whole screen is a straight deal breaker.

I begrudgingly bought the switch oled when it came out. I thought it would be stupid and there would be no difference. I was wrong. There is just something about oled panels that are just special. How the colors are so vibrant and pop but at tge same time the blacks are that clean inky blacks. Its hard to explain. But it is noticeable immediately. And the switch oled didnt have any other improvements like the steam deck so i would say worth it. Maybe not if you already have a deck. But if buying one for the first time absolutely...

I switched to a Legion Go from the Steam Deck OLED. I really like the comfort and screen of the Steam Deck OLED a lot more, despite it being lower res. The only thing holding me back from switch back to the SD, is its performance and lack of windows drivers. I can run lots of triple A games on the LGO much better than on the SD. If Valve were to release a better performing Steam Deck with newer internals, I would instantly switch. But seems it would take a year 2 before they announce a new model.
