Be prepared to potentially have severe light bleed on an 82" or 85" edge-lit QLED.
I got an 82" Q70T and even had the panel replaced under warranty. It's bad enough that I am going to have to get a 85QN90A or 85QN90B this year.
They look good during bright scenes, with the lights on, or when the picture fills the whole screen. They look really bad when the scene is dark and/or the lights are off.
The Samsung tech basically said that they have to allow too much light from the edge to achieve the nits they need and that more often than not, you are going to get a poor panel by light bleed standards. Smaller QLEDS don't have to send the light as "far" into the panel is why there are usually less issues with them.

And here's the RTINGS [rtings.com] review:
The Samsung Q60T is a decent TV for most uses. It's good for watching TV during the day since it gets bright and has decent reflection handling. Despite lacking local dimming, it's still decent for watching movies in dark rooms thanks to its outstanding contrast ratio and remarkable black uniformity. It has a low input lag, so gaming feels responsive, but its slow response time makes motion look blurry. It's also a bit lacking for HDR, as it doesn't get bright enough to make highlights pop in HDR content.

Is the 83" set better than that for the same price?

Yours didn't rate very well on rtings either though.
"The Samsung Q80/Q80A QLED is a mid-range LED TV. It replaces the popular Samsung Q80/Q80T QLED from 2020. However, it's not one of Samsung's best-performing TVs anymore because it sits below the Neo QLED models in their 2021 lineup. It's also different from past Samsung TVs because it uses an IPS-like panel that has wide viewing angles, which comes at the cost of a low contrast ratio. It has a local dimming feature to improve the dark room performance, but it performs terribly, and it's not a good choice for use in dark rooms. "
