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

If it is not more powerful I do not see the point. I mean sure it could be cheaper, but the Switch is selling on the hybrid nature or in some cases pure portability. I just don't see it being desired too much at its current power level if the WiiU is anything to go by. Sure there are other reasons for the failure of the WiiU, but it does show that exclusives alone won't make it worth the venture.

And it would be pointlesa to make it vastly more powerful, because then we would have another console and handheld situation and the library could be divided again. It would have to remain around the same powerlevel to keep the unified library that fhe Switch seems to be pushing for.

So while I am sure there are many of us that might buy it, the bulk of the consumer base will see no point. Honestly I see and handheld only model being the only "dedicated" model that makes sense TBH.

Of course the idea it's not to take away anything from the current switch, and clearly this would be a nich and hard situation for the marketing department, but sony did it for the vita almost effortless and Vita strikes me as a harder conversion, so this would just be a option for the few that thinks switch is not worth the price just because it does many things that doesn't interest us. The screen, battery, detachable controllers and dock and that adapter for the controllers all traded for a normal controller would cut the price significantly, enough to convince many people that isn't yet.

I don't see any downside... Clearly Nintendo didn't have the idea to do this originally, because the name locks it behind the hybrid concept, but now, after the success of the hardware and the games the platform is delivering, widening that platform to sell more games is always a good bet imo.
