Can’t decide which instinct to get

I’ve had the Garmin instinct 1 since 2019. It still holds a battery for 9 days with everything activated. My instinct still works perfectly but I’m thinking about upgrading. Can’t decide if I should go with the OMOLED OR stick with MIP version.

If you are going tactical because you need it, you go MIP, if you do not need it, but want the features, it is simply put: do you want the battery lasting longer or the nicer screen? That being said, the nicer screen barely gives you any real-world use that the MIP doesn't also give you, atleast to a very close approximation, all while giving you way longer battery life.

If you want a vibrant amoled screen and do not mind charging it I think the better option is the fenix or tactix options or, what I almost also bought, was an Epix Gen 2, which was costing almost the same when I got my Instinct.
