To add to the folks owning both a Switch and a Deck:
Keep in mind that the Steam Deck might be more "unstable" than a regular console like a Switch. Not just games or controller config tweaks, but also general system stability - I'm speaking of experience with the beta software of the Deck.
Despite that, if you're tech-savvy enough or are happy to stick with only Verfiied/Playable rated games without tinkering, the Steam Deck's highly recommendable. Even for party games, as you can just use any vendor's controller on the Deck basically. Don't need to get 4 of one vendor or the like.
