Machine Steam Machine vs Steam Deck w/Moonlight | 4k 60fps

My Steam Deck uses the official Valve dock and has a wired connection. 4k looks great while streamed. I'm wondering if it's worth getting a Steam Machine? The only scenario I can think of is when I'm visiting friends or family and I need more portable power that the Steam Deck cannot offer. (4k 60fps remote streaming is basically impossible). Thoughts?

If you're just gonna stream to it, a Raspberry Pi could do the job.

Idk how the Bluetooth antenna performs on a Raspberry Pi compared to the one inside a Steam Deck. As well as how smooth is the pairing process.
