I picked up a 64Gi LCD model a while back when it was on sale and then added my own 1TB SSD. 256Gi is enough that you hate to remove it and not use it, but also isn’t quite enough space to be practical.
My Steam Deck is a second wave pre-order 256GB modern, and that is exactly my feeling. Between the internal 256GB and the excellent Steam Deck micro SD utilization, it was good enough that I never opened it up just to change the SSD. When I started to get some stick drift, I finally upgraded the SSD at the same time.
The 256GB is "good enough", but 512GB is "enough" and 64GB is tight.
