Hi, I found reviews for the RX 7800XT Merc but not for the Qick variant and I need your help choosing which one I should get. Aside from the Merc having a bigger, better cooling solution and a LED, how much am I really missing out in terms of performance, temperature, noise-level, and power consumption? So far, my retailer said the Qick variant (~$526 in Thailand) is available but is unsure of the Merc's price and arrival. So, should I wait (hopefully) next week for the Merc or just get the Qick soon?

I recently bought the 7800XT QICK variant, and am pretty happy with it. Noise hasn't been a problem, but Norway is colder than Thailand so I don't know how it would perform in heat yet.
