Why would you change your current box?
Just to be clear, Mini MX and MiniMXIII are two different devices and Mini MX comes in two versions: 1GB/8GB and 2GB/16GB.

Anybody knows a S905 2GB box that does NOT come preloaded with addons? Doesn't feel right feeding these with more money.

WeTek Hub as well as cheaper option and still including DRM.

Thanks for the suggestions, I was actually asking about the cheap boxes.
Have been waiting for the play2 to come back in stock for a while, but it seems it is going to be same as when the hub went out of stock and suddenly came back around the same time as play2. If that happens I would rather grab a play2s

i don't think you will find a cheap box without crap addons which is why i gave you those suggestions.

If your going to use libre elec, which is the best option for kodi on the cheap boxes anyway, the pre-loaded addons are of little to no concern as you'll be replacing them with a clean libreelec build. Or manually just uninstall them if your using android.

Think there idea was to not support manufacturers that promote pirated content which is every single of these cheap box sellers.

Yep all of the. They all use common Firmware that gets flashed at the factory that includes a Pirate Payload.
These sellers know exactly what the are doing, in fact it's part of their business model.
Hopefully cheap Android TV OS devices, mass manufactured and coming from the likes of Xiaomi and ZTE and others to come, get to the point being sold worldwide with decent Firmware at a reasonable price. That there is no point in even buying unsupported, buggy, Pirate crap.

I tested a little bit the Beelink GT1 and would like to let you know that when setting the refresh parameter in Android to 60p along with a proper 4k TV that supports it, the "weird window-boxed mode" disappear for 4k content.
Pitou!
