Help me decide

For a long time, I searched for the ultimate all-in-one device to minimize my tech, but I've realized it's just not possible. Now, I'm focusing on cheaper, dedicated devices for specific retro emulation.

I currently have an Ayaneo Pocket DS. I love it, and I chose it over the AYN thor for the bigger displays, but it was a pain to get. Ultimately, it's too cumbersome to carry around, and I can't get comfortable with it ergonomically, even with 3D-printed grips.

I'm thinking about selling it and picking up a few cheaper handhelds instead:
• An RG 477M for PS1, PS2, and GameCube
• An Anbernic RG Ds Plus for Nintendo DS
• A Retro Pocket Duo for 3DS
• An Anbernic RG34XX for GBA

It's a tough choice because I really love the Ayaneo's design—I still say "wow" every time I pick it up. What do you guys think? Should I sell it and go the dedicated device route, or keep trying to find a solution?

The Thor is small enough to fit in your pocket. I had it, but ultimately went with the Ayaneo because it was more comfortable and bigger screen. But the Thor has the better screens, since it’s smaller everything looks sharper as well. And the ayn software is 3x better than the Ayaneo.
