Acer Triton 700 or a AW 17m R1

Hey guys, I'm currently confused between 2 laptops.

1) AW 17m R1 (i7-8750/ 2070MQ) - I could get the R2, but the inverted MB and soldered RAM is a no go.
2) Acer Predator Triton (i7-7700, 1080 MQ)

Both are around similar prices.

My main concern is longevity, as per a lot of research the AW runs hot and the Triron not so much.

Graphic card comparisons show that the 1080MQ & 2070MQ are quite comparable.

and eGPU options down the road seem to lean toward Alienware solution.

Anyone have any pros & cons for the laptops.

I don't have any issues undervolting and repasting (anything other than LM), for the most part, *the AW seems the simplest to (repaste).

Another option is the MSI GE63 RGB with a full RTX 2070 but no thunderbolt and a Scar II (2070), although I've heard it has full set of issues again. AND a MSI GT73 VR with a full 1080, although it is an older laptop.

A Razer 17 Pro with a 1080 is also possible but the feedback has been that its cooling is a poopoo.

Anything other than these is overpriced and only have gtx 1060s in them.

Kindly share your experiences or options regarding the laptops,

Many Thanks
