for me it's one of:
not really by order of preference, but i guess how much i've used them recently
I've wanted those Analogue consoles for so long, but I just can't quite justify the price tag on them.
whether i can recommend either would really depend on your use case, but in my case:
I have a small-to-medium collection of games from most consoles (especially the cartridge generation) and being able to play original games over HDMI without any artifacts just really speaks to me. I'll definitely have to intentionally save up for them to allow myself to splurge, though.
Right now, I have a few plugged into a composite switcher going through a RetroTink2X, which lets me play well enough, and I do kind of enjoy the RCA composite look, I'm more in the camp of "give me the raw pixels clean" than "RCA signal is how it was meant to look"
it is certainly a budget! i was somewhat considering both the Mega Sg and Duo, but seeing as i have no collection to speak of for either of those (and i'd rather not start now, even though i especially love the PC Engine, it's getting very pricey out there... anyways), it wouldn't really make sense vs getting a MiSTer (or just the dock for the Pocket i guess).
i'm sure the difference would be night and day for you, coming from composite, but you might already get great results simply with upgraded cables. iirc the 2X doesn't do SCART, but you could do component (could be pricey, depending on the console) or S-Video (usually a great step-up and in the same ballpark as composite)
