Also one of the biggest issues with the normal version was the touchscreen pulling rate. 180hz on the OLED feel SO good.

Adding to this, it is basically ONLY the OLED. Performance between the LCD and OLED was gains around 1-5%. For a "brand new" unit, check the valve certified refurbished steam deck store page for really cheap decks with warranty.
Edit; also ~35% better battery life.
I now have both. There are other improvements that haven't been touted. The haptics are MUCH stronger on the oled. It's actually a standout feature in my opinion. Dpad feels improved as well. Not mushy like the original. I'd even venture to suggest it's a little clicky.
