The Legion Tower Dr.W posted earlier seems better in basically every way to me.

For the most part, for gaming the CPUs are nearly identical maybe not worth the extra costs... but you're buying Costco for ease of returns should you have problems.

That's fair on Costco. My counter would be "MSI gaming laptops and desktops seem to be unreliable as hell, and Costco return at 90 days is worth less to me than not being as likely to get junk with Lenovo".

I think the 270k is better in most workloads than the ultra 9 as well. So you are paying more for a worse brand but a better retailer.

Any reason to get this instead of waiting 2 days for the $2800 2tb 5080 sale?

There is nothing wrong with 32GB in a gaming computer. I would sooner take 32GB of fast, tight-timing RAM than even 64GB of el-crappo RAM
