I have the OG Steam Deck (one so "old" it had the Delta fan from the factory which I swapped for the better one) and while tempting, I didn't upgrade (yet?).
I'm strictly using the Deck to complement my desktop PC, so I don't have that many hours on the device. If it was my primary gaming device, I would've probably upgraded already.
Efficiency improvements and a bigger battery are nice and noticeable, and so is the way better screen obviously. I wouldn't say it's a completely different experience though and the OLED model isn't perfect either. I would've liked to see a VRR panel for example as the Deck struggles hard to keep a somewhat consistent frame rate with many bigger modern titles.
