To each and their own, for some people a small car is enough, for others a Ferrari is better. Why a Macbook if a Windows PC is more powerful and cost less? Some people like the ecosystem, some people like the design.

For me it was about where to compromise and where to let go on the $ to get the performance mix I wanted. The Gigabyte I picked is more like a Subaru WRX ;)
1080P was never going to cut it for my graphical workload (it has been a PITA for a long while for me) and 4K came with to many compromises due to the budget I was allowing myself so 1440P was the pixel count. Size mine sits behind my workbench so 32" 16:9 was absolute max and in the end I went 27" to get the other specs I wanted.
Been using my former Samsung bench monitor on the Laser today and it is really horrid after the last few days on the new one.

Yes I must say that fits that part of your bench that was too empty. That hole you show some posts before
