No not worth the upgrade unless you have a ton of VP9 content.

I'm a hardware fanatic ... I have more setups then I can use
The nexbox UI looks like they did a decent job on it.

The problem usually is that it won't do it from within Kodi. So you'll have to use whatever media player they bundle with the box in order to get all the hardware-decoding goodness that they advertise.

- let people buy from them
- provide them links and How to to flash Clean OE/LE builds on them
Why should we encourage supporting a business that continually seeks to profit from selling illegal Pirate Kodi boxes ?
Not only has this practice tarnished XBMC/Kodi's reputation, it has led to a LOT of anguish in the Kodi developer ranks.
If you support Kodi, in whatever form it comes in then Kodi developer support must come first. Without that the project ceases to exist.
These guys selling Pirate Hardware contribute absolutely nothing to the Open Source Kodi project.
They are nothing better than pond scum dwellers and leaches sucking the blood from the Kodi project itself.
Legitimate sellers are either:
a) Supporting the developers of the Kodi codebase
b) Sponsoring the Kodi project
c) Providing test Hardware to developers to code with to benefit the entire Kodi project
d) Actually employing developers that contribute to the Kodi codebase
If you support Kodi, stop thinking of only Hardware purchase price and yourselves. There is a bigger picture.
Cheap hardware for end users does not justify free advertising of Kodi pirate boxes.
