Both are really good choices and I think it mostly comes down to the location you will put it in. Light in room, how far your seats are from the TV, what angle from the TV, etc.

That I agree with, but not for Dolby Vision in my case but for DTS pass-through.

This is like saying Honda is worse than Chevy. A Corvette will mop the floor over an Accord but an Accord would outquality any Sonic. See? Not fair at that generalization.
That being said: GREAT DEAL! Mini-LED is great for those wanting some more solid blacks in experiences like movies/shows with letterboxed aspect ratios but can't quite get an OLED for say burn-in fears that if you are not conscious of, or have children for example unaaware of technology like that.
I'm all for Micro-LED to come to the consumer market in about 10 years when it can overtake OLED. Bit for now mini-LED is great for those needing more brightness and aa better black-experience over current LED backlit panels.
NOTE: They're trying to push full-array dimming in the same boat as mini-LED. ITS NOT! Mini-led can turn off zones completely similar to OLED cur-offs; not entirely but it makes for a more pleasant viewing experience.

Full array is nice in that theres not the edge-lit smudge; but it STILL MEANS there is backlight on. Full-array can't fully turn off like mini-led.
Mini-LED It nicer in that it can make letterboxed content richer because it will completely eliminate the black-zone haze. VA does handle blacks better than IPS, yes; but its backlight is still-on; and fully on.
Mini-led can shut off zones; not to the pixel level like OLED, but it can. IPS and VA CAN be mini-led. Makreting now is going to make this confusing to consumers because they're not as apt to look at actual specs of the tech.

Dont know about tier 0. I'm a fan of LG TVs but I got 3 count that 1, 2 & 3 LG remotes DIED on me. The 3rd one is from 65 C Oled ~2019 not exactly a bottom tier tv.
First 1 I thought was a flute or interference from plasma TV, 2nd -doubt stuck in my mind. 3rd removed all of my doubt.
