I'm not sure about any semi-recent reviews, but the ED64 is seen as the best.
There are two differences between the $199 X7 and $119 X5.
The RTC is only used by the Japanese only N64 version of Animal Crossing. It's an interesting oddity as the Gamecube game stayed very close and didn't change or add a ton of things. But other than that it's possible some homebrew might use it, but for most people, it's a feature they would never touch.

- Saves games without Reset
- RTC (Realtime Clock)

Is there anywhere selling the 64Drive? RetroActive says orders were placed "temporarily" on hold since May 2021.
Their UltraSave could be interesting, but a universal device like the Save the Hero project would do so much more.
Otherwise, the 64Drive's original price is the same as the ED64 X7 and they have the same features such as supporting all games and having USB debugging for development.
If you don't mind skipping N64 Animal Crossing, aren't going to be N64 Development, and are OK restarting the console to keep saves. Then the X5 is 40% of the cost.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
