Would you be interested in a different Switch ala PS Vita TV?

Not really man... there is one think called anchorage.

When you go the theathers and they have the small popcorn for 10 bucks and the giant for 12 bucks... you instead of thinking both are to expensive you think "why would I buy this smaller one for just this few bucks difference when I can buy this big one"... so people could actually be more interested in Switch thinking that for only X more they can have it portable.

I don't think popcorn and a game console are very comparable products.

Popcorn at theaters are an impulse purchase, you wouldn't a make an evaluation on utility for just 2 bucks and in that short moment of  doubt you'll likely go for the larger size.

On the other hand the decision to buy a console is mostly not immediate, it could take days or weeks. If a customer can choose an alternative Switch that is say $100 cheaper he will inevitably question the utility of portability. If the "only TV" version of the Switch would cost only 20$ less than a regular one, it wouldn't have any reason to exisit since, as you indicated, customers would inevitably choose the standard version.

The work of Nintendo is to see what price difference would most benefit them... If they can sell HH for all this time for a price that initially is almost the same as a console but much weaker and companies like Apple can sell several models of iPhone for a great price difference while only changing the internal memory I see no prohibition on Nintendo probing the 3 models of Switch, you can either buy the dedicated versions for a little less or buy the complete version.
