The differences between cards mostly amounts to a rounding error. In previous generations, sometimes the high end cards had useful extras (USBC video output on the card itself was one big one), but nowadays, it's another 20 mhz speed, a 1% performance gain, and some extra marketing materials or LED lights on the unit; that's it.
For most, it's not worth spending a dime extra on - buy on price, get the cheapest model with the chip you want.
For a specific example, if the choice is between a "higher end" 9070 vs getting the lowest end 9070XT, the 9070XT low-end card will be faster (far, far faster) every time. It's not even close.

Currently this is THE 9070 XT to buy assuming it fits in your case (352mm or 340mm w/o support bracket) and you don't want throw an extra ~$100 at the only superior card (XFX Mercury).

THE IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE! - is how much quieter these models are than the Reaper model - I sit in a room with 5 of our PC's gaming and we all are using Hellhounds - and the GPU's are relatively silent even in full blown gaming sessions compared to how loud the Reaper would occasionally get. Reviews seem to say similar as well when comparing the products.
If the sound profile is important to you then be aware - for our household it was important because 5 of us gaming at the same time would get ridiculous with fan noise (I built every PC to maximize the balance between cooling and not being loud blowers - lots of high CFM/static pressure fans at low RPM - so getting GPU's that didn't ruin that came into play while also being good performers).
