Makes sense? No?

makes sense, but it really depends.
If you really need it for low profile gaming, then I say - buy a 500$ laptop then another one in 3 years.
Many laptops won't hold 7 years (although it really depends how you take care of them).
The only thing that is missing in a 500$ laptop is a good screen and that's the only good reason I can see for spending another 200-300$ in your case
The G74 and G73 are either too old and are prone to fail soon or just too huge with sub-par cooling. The G74 is HUGE. It makes my M17x look small.
