I sure will NOT do anything but lambast them forever, but as of now I am limited in choices here.
Coldcard would be nice, but too low on fiat right now haha!

It does suck that they’re all pretty pricey. Blockstream Jade is a lot more accessible. Bitbox (Bitcoin only edition) is a little cheaper than the priciest Trezor, and trezor’s entry model comes in around 60 bucks.
Bear in mind I have never used trezor. People are pretty opinionated (for and against) but my understanding is they recently added a secure element to one of the models, which should reduce some of the disagreements about how it should be built.
Hope this helps 🤙
And anyway, to your original question…
5% of your stack on a ledger with only Bitcoin account. After you initialize it on Ledger Live, you can delete ledger live, wipe the device, and create a new seed phrase in Sparrow (or Electrum). You may not even need to wipe the old seed - just add a passphrase for a new set of addresses that ledger hasn’t seen.
