The anti-glare is definitely worth it and it's also very noticeable outside. The other option is that you could just upgrade the screen from ifixit if you're also going to be upgrading your storage anyways.

All versions of the deck allow you to upgrade the SSD. There's actually a lot more vendors selling 2230 nvme drives now. I'd recommend staying away from SABRENT Rocket since their support is nonexistent and they also have a high failure rate. The Corsair MP600 mini and Micron 2400 is a better option.

More than anything I'm sketched out about buying SSDs from untrusted sellers, don't want to pay for 1TB and get 256GB that pretends and gets faulty when filled.

There's tools you can use to verify the disk is right. It's smart to do so before you put it in the deck if you have access to a computer. Just get a cheapest enclosure.

Yeah I'm aware. I'd still rather avoid the hassle and buy from a trusted seller.
