I would definitely go for that, if it wasn't a whole world of pain to tear down the Deck to do a screen change.

For me, these are the kinds of things that are nice to have if my native screen dies anyway somehow, and I would have replaced it no matter what. The more options the better in that scenario.

But to change out the screen just because it's possible? Nah dawg I'm good.

I went ahead and backed it. I am slowly amassing everything I need for a complete shell swap (and other bits and bobs to mod my deck - last things needed are a bigger SSD and a SSD enclosure to clone the drive/use the original as external storage). If this gets funded, I'll just wait until I get it in May and just not have to worry about detaching the stock screen and reattaching it to the new shell. If this doesn't get funded I'll just order a replacement screen from ifixit.
