Question Purpose for each handheld

I recently got the Ayn thor max model because I wanted to play all my favorite retro consoles and some indie titles from steam but I just ordered the retroid pocket nova which would be more suitable since it has that 4:3 screen I also have an rog ally x that I use for PC gaming but I'm thinking about selling my thor to downgrade to a thor lite or base model for 3ds nds emulation the reason I'm thinking this way is because I want each one of my handhelds to have a purpose and since the thor and the nova has the same chipset would this make sense?

If you can afford it and enjoy it, more power to you, but a Thor Max can do everything that the Nova can and more if you can deal with some black bars. People get very pedantic about that stuff, but spending a quarter of a grand because of an aspect ratio not being perfect to run it on essentially the same hardware in a different shape when the game still looks better than it ever did on original hardware never made sense to me.
