Yeah, I'm thinking it'll be a lot like 3DS; a Lite type deal in 2018, then a New 3DS type deal in 2019/2020. The latter could run games with better resolution or framerate, like N3DS and PS4 Pro.

If it's true that Nintendo was in too big a hurry to wait for Pascal with the standard Switch, and went with Maxwell instead, it wouldn't be surprising to see Pascal adopted in a later revision.

Ya im thinking maybe a Switch Lite, which has a 5" 720p screen so similar is size to PSP or Vita then a Switch Pro, a more powerful version with a 1080p screen which will be the same size as the original model.

Perhaps something like Switch Lite-$199 & Switch Pro-$299.

I can almost certain see Switch Pocket, 5" Switch just for portable play without dock and without separate controller, that will be around $100 cheaper than Switch, and maybe just home version of Switch that will be more powerful than Switch.
