Ally has VRR screen, much better software and updates, astonishingly better speakers. Overall, it's a much better user experience. The screen is a bit small for me at 7".
LeGo has a bigger, more vibrant screen but it's a native portrait screen so it does not do VRR. Its speakers are the definitively worst speakers I have experienced on ANY handheld in the last 15 years. The detachable controllers are cool but you'll need the 3d printed custom grips for anything remotely comfortable. The software is lackluster.
I've had the Steamdeck LCD, ROG Ally Z1E, Legion Go, ROG Ally X, and currently MSI Claw 8 AI+.
How would you rank each? I'm still on a day 1 steam deck and I love it, but will probably upgrade in a year or two.
I'm a tinkerer so I don't mind tweaking things. I play unplugged alot and value a larger screen.
SD LCD < Ally Z1E < LeGo < Ally X < MSI Claw 8
Value-wise, I'd either mod a used Ally Z1E or mod used LeGo. If you have money, Ally X or MSI Claw 8 is best.

The Legion Go lacks variable refresh rate and, unless an update has changed things, it reportedly has worse battery life than the Z1E Ally (which already has pretty bad battery life tbh).
Otherwise, it's mostly just a size + system software preference thing (Asus's Armory Crate vs. Lenovo's software). But both also support SteamOS (and Bazzite if you'd prefer dual booting between Windows and unofficial SteamOS).
Saw something earlier today that said September
