This idea of "more features, better deal" is a common thing people bring up. However, one of the stronger "features" that draws me to the Light Phone is that they are an opinionated company that designs their product specifically to prevent the distraction/engagement-seeking style of apps that are so prevalent in smartphone ecosystems.
Whether or not that's a feature that resonates with you is, of course, another story!
For me I have the money, would like to vote with it by supporting a company aligned with my interests, and don't mind paying that premium. You might have different finances and prefer the $60 EUR option, and that's fine too.
If you check out Jose's channel (from the article), he reviews tons of these phones and there's likely a sweet spot in there for most people that are curious.
