Trade my Ayn Thor for a Pocket DS?

Hi everyone! I am hoping to get some advice before I make a final decision. Essentially, I have had my Ayn Thor (Max Rainbow version) since Batch 1, and it is by far the best handheld I have used. I have always played DS/3DS games since I was very young, so the clamshell form factor, combined with the power to play Switch and PC games was a huge bonus. However, I am finding that the ergonomics, despite with a grip, are really hard to cope with and when playing for extended periods, and I don’t really use the bottom screen at all when playing other types of games.

Therefore, I am toying with the idea of trading mine in for an Ayaneo Pocket DS as the combination of the larger 7” screen, better ergonomics and bigger bottom screen seem a good trade off for the reduced portability since my Thor largely remains at home anyways.

But I don’t know if I will regret trading it off, so maybe getting another opinion would be amazing!

Edit: Just to clarify, currently I use the ProtoPrintLab chunk grip, which does really help but still strains when using triggers etc, and really makes the device look ugly imo. Secondly, I have a second device (Ayaneo Pocket Micro) which has become my EDC travel handheld, giving my Thor more of a home console; hence why I am contemplating a trade.
