Best UK Deal on Nintendo Switch?

Hi all,
I've decided to buy a Nintendo Switch this year and naturally am looking around for the best deal.
The prices seem to be the same everywhere: £259 for the older one, and £309 for the newer OLED one. Bundles seem pretty thin on the ground as well - I think the best I can find is £309 for the older Switch with Mario Kart and the wheel accessories.
Has anyone found anything cheaper?
Does anyone have a view on getting the OLED model? While it would be nice to have the newest tech, I'm not convinced that the higher res screen on the console and an extra 32GB onboard storage is really worth it? From what I can tell, the internal tech seems to be pretty much the same as the older one, and docked there is no difference?

I honestly think OLED isn't worth it but maybe depends on what games you play on there. Some people did complain about framrate of certain games on regular Switch but I personally had no issues. If looking to get it for cheaper I would definitely look into 2nd hand or refurbished. And doubt it will get much cheaper, esp with holidays coming up. Maybe keep an eye out for Black friday deals.0
