If you get the Deck LCD, just be aware that the 256GB SSD really needs replaced if you're installing any modern games. 256GB can be completely used up with an installation of something like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Baldur's Gate 3. 100GB+ installations are really common for AAA games now, so make sure to check the storage requirements for games you intend on playing since that SSD is quite small. Fortunately, the upgrade process is very easy, and larger 512GB / 1TB / 2TB 2230 SSDs are readily available, but be aware that the upgrade process takes a little bit of technical know-how, with plenty of guides online for the process. Alternatively, you can expand storage with a quality MicroSD card, although this is quite a bit slower than storage on the NVMe, particularly when applying big patches to games. I recommend Samsung's MicroSD cards for reliability purposes. Avoid TeamGroup like the plague. SanDisk is a good alternative.
If you don't need the space, the Steam Deck is a great emulation platform. EmuDeck makes it easy to get going, and 256GB is plenty of space for emulation, or simpler games.
Is there something you need more for life?
Do you travel often enough where the portability would be useful?
Are there other hobbies you're interested in trying?
$300 could get you:
A Bambu Lab 3D printer.
A good set of Ryobi tools.
A top of the line e-reader.
All kinds of beefy campaign board games, like Gloomhaven etc.
It'll be this price again. There's no reason to "just do it" if you're conflicted.
