Should I putchase a 4-year-old nVidia TV Pro, another technology, or wait for next Gen?

It's my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it's soooo old. $200? IDK
I bought the Nokia 8010 TV box instead of the shield. I do not know if it's available in your country. Why? Cheaper and same ish enough.
I like it but "like" is all there is. I do not love it. As most android boxes it is not 100% stable and needs a reboot after a week or so.
I red in several forums the nvidia shield has the same problem.
Tbh the appletv is the wise choice. Stable, more apps, better ecosystem, better soc, more storage. Plex also works on it.
I couldn't use it unfortunately because my Atmos setup is not arc 2.0 and the appletv only does uncompressed atmos. With arc 1.x it's only possible to send atmos compressed over dolby digital plus.
I don't think you can paint all Android TV boxes with the same brush. I have the 2017 Shield and it has been very stable and rarely needs to be rebooted.
For some reason my 2019 crashes when I start watching something in disney+ and change the volume during the first 5 seconds of the video. Otherwise its flawless(except for the ads on the home screen).
I don't use Disney+, so I can't speak to that, but I side-loaded FLauncher as soon as they introduced ads on the home screen.
