We have two, most things are absolutely fine, games/DLC I download are available on both. If I remember correctly there was a bit of a faff with making sure I picked the right console as the primary one (the secondary one needs an Internet connection to play downloaded games), so oddly, it made sense for the Switch Lite to be the primary one, as that's the one that leaves the house.

Cloud saves are near instant, so you can move between the two and carry on from where you left off for most games.
The main issue is Animal Crossing, as islands are locked to a physical Switch, so you can't jump between the two to progress though the game.

Thanks that’s really useful. Probably a non starter then as the lack of inet connection on plane and in the transfer car puts a spanner in the works.

Zelda BOTW is worth the cost alone, incredible game. As is Mario Kart 8 and Luigi’s Mansion. My wife also loved Animal Crossing.

I’m a fking idiot for not bringing it with us to Orlando on holiday.

Having recently fallen in love with the game Gris (it's more of a relaxing work of art than a game, beautiful and relaxing to look at and play), does anyone have any recommendations for games on the Nintendo store that aren't as well known but are still good fun to play? Horace was also a great gem of a game.
And just in case you don't know (as I didn't until recently), you can increase storage space on your Switch with a microSD card, port is under the stand.

Thanks for the heads up on Gris. I downloaded it for less than £4 on Sunday and finished it off earlier today. Such a great experience and it reminded me a bit of Ico on the PlayStation.
