Switching from RX 6950 XT to RX 9060 XT 16GB worth it?
I've had my reference RX 6950 XT in a Lian Li A4-H2O for almost 3 years. It's a nice powerful power-hungry GPU, but it's big. Too big for my needs. I travel rather often, and my A4-H20 + 18" monitor + keyboard and mouse + cables in a backpack take 100% of my carry-on volume and weigh 11 kg. It's not nice to carry this around for extended time and I can't take anything else with me if I want to travel without baggage.
I've had my eyes on Midori 5L for a long time. Unfortunately, there's no RX 9070 XT that can fit into this case. There's one RTX 5070 TI that can probably fit, but I can't get it and I want AMD because of Linux. PowerColor Reaper RX 9060 XT 16GB seems to be the most powerful GPU to fit in this case. However, my main monitor is 2560x1600 144Hz and I have a "4k" 120 Hz VR headset, which is rather demanding (had to use FSR in one game).
Here are the pros and cons of switching from RX 6950 XT to RX 9060 XT.
Pros:
11.1 liters -> 5.4 liters - 51% decrease in volume.
Some decrease in weight for many reasons (smaller GPU, no AIO, flex PSU, etc.).
Cons:
RX 6950 XT has [\~30% more raster](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-radeon-rx-9060-xt-prime-oc-16-gb/33.html) performance.
No USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode for VR, have to use an adapter.
No front IO on Midori, have to use a USB hub.
Don't really care:
AI features.
Video encoding.
3 GPU ports means I'll have to swap cables sometimes, but fine.
Is this worth it in your opinion? Are there better options I'm missing?

NCASE M2/M3 Grater Side Panels??
Crazy there are no pictures of these on a case on NCASE website. I can't find anyone online who's bought them with pictures either.

This kit is limited and will NOT restock regularly. ⚠️ Notice: Due to batch-to-batch variation, silver side panels may show slight tone differences compared to the silver cases. We’ve aimed for the closest possible match, but if exact color alignment is critical…

Just wondering as I’m considering building a small form factor pc soon, and I need a parts list to see how much it’ll cost.
