I'm a current Switch owner who almost never uses it in handheld mode. So replacing my current Switch with the Lite is out of the question, and buying a Lite as a second Switch is incredibly unlikely. But to answer the question, there are some (still possible) features that can make me consider.
Part of the reason I rarely use my Switch in handheld mode is because it's really not comfortable to use in handheld mode. Whereas the Lite looks much better in that regard. No doubt that if the OG Switch was the Lite but with TV compatibility, I would use it in handheld mode more often. So having the Lite as a second Switch would actually be nice, as long they implement these two features:
1. Cross games and saves. If I sign in on my new Lite, I should be able to download all of my games on it, without paying for them again, while still having access on both, and with the save files being automatically and seamlessly shared between the two. When I'm done playing a Breath of the Wild on my TV downstairs, I should be walk upstairs to my bedroom, pick up the Lite, and continue on just as easily as if I had taken the OG Switch off of the dock.
2. Switch Lite as a controller. We're always short on controllers whenever I have friends over for Smash. The Lite absolutely should be able to used as a controller for a docked Switch. I was considering spending $70 a second Pro Controller just for friends, so this feature adds significant value to the Lite.
With these features in place, the Lite becomes an option for me. Would I spend $200 on it when I could pick up my OG Switch off of the dock? No. I'd have to get it on one hell of a sale.
