RG40XXV or RG353P?

I'm having a really hard time deciding. I prefer horizontal handhelds but as a kid I played a lot of Pokemon and Zelda on my GBC. The GBC is way too small for me now. I kinda wanted to try out a vertical handheld and I've heard the RG40XXV is a bigger vertical handheld which is great for me. I also changed my mind on buttons and I think now I prefer mushier buttons and d-pad compared to tacticle buttons. Which I've heard both of these devices have.

The power button placement on the RG353P kinda bothers me and Russ from retrogamecorps said he's touched it by accident a lot of times. But I've also heard people hit the back buttons on the RG40XXV a lot to..

So I'm just not sure. The RG40XXV is a lot cheaper but if anyone has better suggestions for a vertical handheld I'm all ears. I just want something simple with Linux that's also big and easy to hold in the hands. I really could do without the back buttons or the analog stick tbh.

Accidentally hitting the Analog stick or back buttons on the RG40XXV?

Thinking of getting this but is this a common issue? just wondering if it's happened to anyone.

Has you ever accidentally hit the power button on the ANBERNIC RG353PS?

The form factor looks great but that power button placement that's right near the face buttons looks awful. I'd like to know if anyone who owns this device has found themselves accidentally hitting it..
