Is the difference between OLED and LCD models really that big?

I keep hearing that the OLED version is much better not only screenwise, but also the overall experience. Is it wort paying double the price (second handed)?

the OLED version has a more efficient CPU and fan resulting in a quieter fan noise
if you only play with headphones or only play lesser graphical games like Slay the Spire or Brotato you probably barely would notice the difference though

Also has a bigger battery, so potentially longer playtime, even on those graphically lighter games. I'm glad I got the OLED for long travel, when I didn't necessarily have access to an outlet.
