Should I upgrade to a Garmin Venu?

I have a Forerunner 245 (non music)....should I sell it and get the new Venu? I run several times a week and have loved the 245 but I’m intrigued by the touchscreen and AMOLED display. I know I’m sacrificing battery life but I don’t mind charging it every day or two....

I also hike in the White Mountains of NH and occasion cycle...I own a Fenix 5x plus, I’ve thought about selling both the 245 and 5x Plus to upgrade to the new Fenix 6 but I’m not sure if there’s enough in the 6 that is worth the upgrade.

any thoughts?

Some people told that there might be a problem with burning in the screen in the future as it might happen with the phone displays.
