Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I've owned two 34" ultrawides, the AW3420DW (120hz IPS) and later the AW3425DW (240hz OLED) and have been pleased with both. I find it extremely immersive in single and multiplayer games - most support ultrawide well, if they don't then...
  • I've tried the AW3425DW 34", and it was a great monitor, but I'm concerned that it'll be a fairly sizable drop ins screen size.

Cons

  • Was previously looking at the AW3425DW but the new MSI model is only £200 more so figured I'd go for that instead.
  • There are a couple of 240hz second gen panels you could look at, like the AW3425DW. But apart from the slightly higher refresh rate there isn't really any difference between the first gen and second gen.
  • Ultimately, it depends on how much you value having an ultrawide. If you play games that make use of it and like the experience it gives you compared to a conventional monitor, I'd stick with it.
