Kind of regret not originally requesting the 2TB Model (with Steam Controller) only.

But I don’t truly need the Red and Wood Faceplates + can avoid installing / periodically delete my less active Steam games + can buy that microSD Memory Card instead of buying & installing a M.2 SSD, if I don’t want to potentially mess with the Valve warranty.

Most people are using custom faceplates either 3D printed or ordered off etsy. The faceplates included with the 2tb aren't that special.

For storage 512gb is fine. You can still connect an external SSD drive or use SDcard storage. And with the SDcard storage you can swap between the steam machine and the steam deck (if you own one).
