Need help on choosing a laptop!

Hey, it's me again. You may or may not know the tale of my laptop burning down overseas, but I've got good news! The shop that I bought it from sent it back to Lenovo for warranty, who've determined it's completely gone and done for, so I'm getting a full 1:1 replacement.

However, I'm also being given the chance to upgrade my laptop if I pay the price difference. The one viable option I've narrowed it all down to is as follows:

CPU: Ryzen 7 H 255 (Basically a slight downgrade from Ryzen 7 260)

GPU: RTX 5060m

RAM and Storage: 1x16gb RAM, 1TB SSD

Screen: 2.5k 180Hz 15.3"

For reference, my previous (now dead) laptop's specs were:

CPU: Ryzen 7 8745H (Basically a slight downgrade from Ryzen 7 8845H)

GPU: RTX 4060m

RAM and Storage: 2x8gb RAM, 1TB SSD

Screen: 1080p 144Hz 15.6"

It'll be a price increase of around 21.9% (around 250USD), and some other benefits that'll come from this upgrade would be:

400g lighter weight

4-zone RGB keyboard backlights over previous white backlights

Pretty unsure if it's worth the price, any opinions?
