I do. The SX-64 screen is 5" or so actually, so this one I have (3")
is appreciably smaller - so mounting might be an issue. And I
consider the SX64 one barely usable for anything except games. ;-)

Right. Then replace the internal 1541 with a uIEC etc. and you're
eliminated 75% of the weight and freed up even more space. But I'm
trying to keep mine as stock as possible (except JiffyDOS and a reset
button) for the collectability value.
I have had a (pointless) project in mind lately, to make a SX64-Lite
using a normal C64 motherboard, LCD screen, uIEC, and maybe a PS/2
keyboard.
