As long as your phone model is supported by any custom mod. I have checked compatibility for almost all smartphones I owned, some 7 or 8 through the years.
Not a single one of them was ever supported by a custom mod.
but you did not check custom rom aupport before you bought tgem, cause did not want freedom and moddability. its on you.
I consider price and technical specifications. I don't have 200€ to spend on a phone. Most phones I bought were less than 100€ new. What I care about a phone is that it supports two SIM cards.
With such constraints, choice is quite limited unfortunately.
Is it worth having a free device? Indeed. Is it worth spending 4 times the price just for that? Not to me.
