Conclusion
The significant differences here are the GPU (MSI with 115W RTX 2070 vs Helios with 90W RTX 2060).

This said, to perform some of your games, the MSI can give you at least ± 30% faster performance.
Check this Helios 300 if you want to have the GTX 1660Ti model.
Furthermore, the keyboard backlighting is also different. The Helios has only 4-Zone RGB, while the MSI has a per-key RGB Keyboard.
So if this performance boost and the per-key RGB keyboard matter to you, then the 200USD price difference is definitely worth it.
Still, both are great gaming laptops with their differences and uniqueness.
