To save money I will keep my Minix U1 for Kodi, and use an Amazon fire stick for prime movies and tv shows (glad I kept the stick)
They both work perfectly on the same network.    

Yes - my only comment is that I wouldn't recommend the Amazon Fire TV sticks for Netflix, as that, last time I checked, the Netflix app doesn't support refresh rate switching, so all Netflix content (most of which is either 23.976 or 25fps) is output at 60fps with judder.  The same is true of the BBC iPlayer app (which is a very popular service in the UK)  

Amazon Prime Video IS output correctly with refresh rate switching - so 23.976 and 25fps Amazon content is output at the correct refresh rate.  If you only want the Fire TV for Amazon Prime Video - you're good to go. 
thanks for the tips guys!

so what would you recommend for netflix then?

The Apple TV HD or 4K, because it’s the only external media player that can do Netflix audio Frame Rate Matching. It will also support Netflix DolbyVision and output lossy Atmos audio as well.

Apple and its tvOS App developers seem to actually realise there is varied Frame Rate content produced worldwide and support Frame Matching for smooth video playback with a lot of Apps for those that live outside the USA.
