You could always save even more with the emmc version and buy a 1TB drive.

Voids warranty, beware
In the EU i dont think it does
In the EU it probably does void the warranty, it's the US that have ruled that opening a case does not void warranty. In the US, the warranty would still cover the rest of the hardware that was not replaced.
I am in the EU. Nothing is said about warranty stickers, but companies will give you shit if it is damaged. Valve claimed that replacing/adding the SSD is "outside of the user's planned components to replace", therefor they will likely refuse for warranty.
I think if you're not planning to play outside, go with one of the cheaper models and use the money saved to get an anti glare screen protector and SD card
The difference is noticeable but it's also a matter how you wanna use the Deck. On the sofa where you can control the lighting situation or outside? Color quality doesn't matter much when you can't see anything to begin with. Btw, there is also the option to get the 256GB one and apply a matte screen protector for 5 bucks.
I just upgraded from my 512g deck to a rog ally. The hardware, especially the screen, is so much better. The software on the ally is so terrible that it came within a breath of going back to best buy until I found chimeraos and am getting 90% of the stramos experience with them closing in on full functionality very quickly.
I just can't go back to the 800p screen after trying the ally.
If you can go hands on with both its very much worth your time to eval both.

OP didn't ask about the Ally.
