I converted a few XCI games to NSP so that I can have them installed. I am wondering if there would be any benefit of getting actual eShop versions of those games? Or is it the same thing in the end?

If by eShop you mean legitimately bought then yes. Converting a xci to nsp won't include the tickets or be signed so you will get banned. If you mean nsp that someone else has dumped from the shop then no it won't make a difference.
Regular eShop NSPs do not require ACID patches and will end up being slightly smaller in size than XCI converts.
One of the general patches folks use to run unsigned content.
E.g. ES, FS or ACID patches.
Chances are that wherever you got your current patches from included the ACID patches.
Yes, you can install update NSPs and they will apply to your XCI convert as long as their title ID match.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those. -

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
