Ayn Odin 2 vs Odin 2 Portal vs Odin 3

[SpikeSlania]

I found myself going down the Ayn rabbit hole. Funnily enough it started with me looking at the Thor and deciding I wanted something more like the PSP/Vita than a 3DS. Has anyone had any experience if this line of handhelds? I mainly want a handheld to play JRPGs while in bed. Realistically I probably would be fine with the base Odin 2 but the OLED 120hz screen of the Portal is very tempting especially for CRT filters but then the price makes me look over at the newer Odin 3. Though what has me keep looking back at the Portal over the 3 is Batocera supports Odin 2 models but not Odin 3 models. Even the Thor is in Beta support so knowing my emulation OS supports the 2 series has me thinking Portal over 3. So if you were to choose one of these 3 models, which would you go with and why? I know there is an Odin 2 Mini but it isn't in stock on their site. And yes I know the Anbernic Portal 5 would probably also meet my needs at a cheaper price and a better placement of the d-pad and has Batocera support but I got tempted by the premium Ayn branding :P

I have a Thor and i absolutely love it...that being said, if i was going to pick out of the 3 I would definitely get the Odin 3...a bit more future proof and not much more costly.
Im personally waiting for a Odin 3 mini...im sure its coming at some point

How does the Thor do with DS games that use gimmicks like blowing into the mic like in Ace Attorney or closing the lid to stamp a paper in Hotel Dusk?
