Sleek and powerful laptop with 4k touch, RTX 2080, and great build quality?

I am looking for a gaming laptop that is sleek and powerful but also looks professional - something along the lines of a Razer Blade 15 or Dell XPS 15.

The Dell XPS 15 comes with several trade-offs (GPU primarily) and Dell's G-series becomes thick and heavy with big bezels. The Alienware line is even more so.

The Razer Blade 15 4k oddly doesn't have an RTX 2080 (while the 1080p 144Hz model does). And I wish the Surface Book 2 had more of the stuff I want because I love the build quality and form factor, but it's just not powerful enough.

I've looked into the Gigabyte Aero 15-Y9-9RT4K6MP - it seems to check all the must-haves but I am really concerned about build quality. Does anyone have any recommendations that I haven't considered?

Should I wait for the rumored 2019 Dell XPS 15 or Razer Blade 15 with 4k OLED? I'm willing to spend about $4k-4.5k (probably not much more)

Must-haves:
1. core i7 8750H (or better)
2. 4k touch screen
3. RTX 2080 (or RTX 2070 with support for eGPU)
4. 32GB RAM (or 16GB upgradeable)
5. Less than 25mm (1") thick and <6 lbs
6. 1TB NVMe (or greater)

Nice-to haves:
1. OLED panel (I would accept a lower-performing GPU for OLED if the device supports eGPU)
2. Less than 20mm (3/4") thick and <5 lbs
3. Thin bezels (~5mm)
4. Webcam above the screen :)
