Though really I could buy it now, I feel one new purchase this month is enough. I still haven't installed the GPU so I use it for a while on this monitor before buying that one.

Not sure how often I would use the 1080p 480hz mode but I can always ignore it

some dual mode monitors coming next year offer 1000hz... but you need to run at 720p
So the race to be the fastest is leading to postage stamp size resolutions.
Is this really progress?

Seems to me we need to wait another 6 years before the feature is worth spending ludicrous amounts of money on. As it stands I am willing to wait. Seems Diablo 4 has it but according to video its almost impossible to tell. As he says, if you can't tell, what is the point of taking the performance hit?

Jumping from 60hz to 75hz does make a difference, but going to 100hz was the sweet spot. Most games I play probably will be locked at 100fps for the sake of smoothness. Some games I could hit the full 180fps so I'll take advantage of that on less intensive games. The screen seems clearer too, even though it's still 1080p. Overall very happy with it.

You may not need to lock them if the monitor uses vrr, it will match the output of the GPU and it will be smooth
