For PS1 and below gaming.... RP Classic or RP Nova?? Anyone have or try both?

So to start with I already have a Thor Pro for anything modern-ish, switch, ps2, gamecube, etc. Especially since I'm running widescreen hacks and texture packs on all my GC games. But what I'm debating is what to do for the below systems

I do currently have an RP Classic. Tons of power for shaders, the screen is incredible, and I don't mind the ergonomics that most people seem to hate about it. BUT the nova is.... really tempting. It's visually stunning and I might be happier with a horizontal system. But I;m wondering if anyone with both systems can comment on screen quality (Similar? Is one better) and just overall experience between them. Price difference will be minimal if I sell my classic for a nova, but I just want to see some input before I try
