It would be hard to justify spending this much on a monitor that's been on the market for 3+ years, especially given the improvements seen in the subsequent models (AW3421DW, AW3423DW, AW3423DWF).
You would be buying relatively 'old' tech for a relatively premium price. Yes the new DW23 models are more expensive, but they are QLED. They may still go on sale sometime this holiday season too, so I'm personally waiting to see if that happens.
If you don't mind buying 3 year old technology and/or don't need the latest-and-greatest, it is a fantastic panel nonetheless.
PS edit: I forgot to mention the 38" version also came out after this - the 'AW3821DW'. I'm hoping for a QLED refresh of that soon; expecting the model numbers to be AW3823DW and AW3823DWF.

IPS has better color reproduction, which is good if you are editing photos or videos, but I don't see the point on a gaming monitor.

And they suck terribly in terms of ghosting/smearing (I have that panel before, AOC CU34G2X). Also that panel has terrible VRR ranger, at lower refresh rate it's flickering pretty badly.
Plus I'm not saying which one is better, just trying to point out they aren't similar by nature, pick whatever you prefer.
For me I switched to this AW and been very happy since until recently I got mine AW3423DWF.
