Windows mixed reality

I am relatively new to VR and I know basically you gets what you pays for and having only tried the Samsung VR on my Note 9 I'm thinking of getting either the Dell Visor or Lenovo Explorer for sim racing (AC, Pcars etc)
Anyone tried both?
I have around £150 to spend, maybe stretch to £200.

I did manage to snag a Lenovo Explorer for £90, it's crazy some of the prices out there for 2nd hand WMR headsets!
I don't think I'll be using the hand controllers that much apart from menus in racing games, might try Pavlov as a few friends have it.

Assetto Corsa looks good, the biggest issue is the distance in VR, your always looking ahead into the blurriness but now and again take time to look around the car and the detail is very nice.
I've always used the bonnet/hood view so driving in-car was a change for me but at the end of the night I was posting the fastest laps!
From what I can gather VR (whichever headset you get) will suffer some screen door (pixelation)effect, obviously less in the more expensive headsets but still there.

The WMR headsets seem to have a small 'sweet spot' so it might take a bit of fiddling to get it right.
Are there any settings in-game or in graphics settings that can be made to better the experience?
I have steam VR beta and use AC content manager also.

Yeah it can definitely be adjusted to make a better experience, lots of settings out there and I've noticed how different people like different settings, which obviously is the case with most things.
It's a totally new experience going up through Eau Rouge flat in a Ferrari GT2, awesome!

I already got the Lenovo so not looking for anything in the immediate future, I'm not a member of the MM either although I have been a forum member for nearly 10 years I just can't keep the post count high enough!
