Edit:
I am wrong, saw a few performance videos and it's closer to Z1X but not entirely there. So this is a decent deal but refurb Ally Z1Xs are still around this price on eBay.
If power is what your want, the ROG Ally with Z1E has been available refurbed in the $400-$450 range quite a few times recently.

Otherwise, I'd recommend a Steam Deck LCD or OLED. I've owned both, with the SD OLED as my current handheld. As SDJP2020 stated, Legion Go S is in a similar performance category, but SD is a more proven hardware platform. OLED is priced at $550 currently so not a great deal, (Probably on sale this winter) but the LCD is only $320 right now during the Autumn sale. That's a steal, and it's new, not refurb.
Not a bad price, but Steam Deck LCDs are supposedly similar in performance to the Z2 Go, and thats 319 new. At this price I would probably go for an Ally Z1X used or new SD Oled. The Z1X version is good but it's 600+.
I think it's the Z2A that is similar. I think this is a step up but short of a Z1E. I still agree with your recommendation, although the screen on the Lenovo is really nice.

It's important to note, you really need SteamOS on the Legion Go series (as this listed deal includes) to provide full performance. Windows 11 is a horrible mobile OS. It really needs a full-power CPU to not impact gaming.
I have the Z1E version and its better than my OG Ally, that I got after selling my launch SD. The The ergos for the Legion Go are so comfortable in the hand, and I think that the screen being taller gives more vertical room for my hands.

just a reminder that pushing 120hz on 1200p on devices with this power envelope is moot...
mini touch pad is not the same as the STEAMDECK in any way, no idea why you even compared them
OLED screen offers the lowest input lag of any screen technology available, and true black HDR
