I keep hearing that the OLED version is much better not only screenwise, but also the overall experience. Is it wort paying double the price (second handed)?

Everything is a little nicer. I don't think it's worth it for most people to upgrade though.

The only thing that would truly make it worth it (imo) is the improved battery life. If you like playing really demanding games on the go (Baldur's Gate, Cyberpunk, etc), the OLED gets ~2.5 hours of battery life while the original deck gets ~1.5. That's a huge improvement, and is the main thing that could justify the OLED deck imo.
