Honestly just buy a used one for cheap and swap the ssd out for a bigger version if need be (cheap as in 300ish, I realize that may not be cheap for some). The hardwareswap sub reddit is pretty great for getting steam decks.
Comment on With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2

I have been wanting a steam deck but can’t justify it yet having a Switch already. I am seriously considering skipping Switch 2 and going for 2nd gen Steam Deck instead.

I doubt it is coming anytime soon. Especially since the updated version just came out.
