By the way I priced the two up (not that I am that focused on cost but don;t want to spend > £100).
The odroid C2 with case, remote, psu (and assuming I can find an SD card lying around) = £75 delivered
The wetek hub = £90 delivered

I think you will find the Vero 4K already comes with everything in the box already inc. the RF remote.
I use a MINIX A2 Lite Wireless Mini Keyboard remote with both the Hub and C2. A TV's HDMI-CEC connected remote control can also be used for very basic Kodi use.
LibreELEC Kodi does not need much memory. You can stream high bitrate up to 4K video, over GigaE with only 1GB of RAM easily.
The advantage with the WeTek Hub is it comes packaged with a Infra Red receiver extender Cord, that can poke out from inside a closed cupboard if you wanted to use your existing Harmony Remote.
Fastest, most compatible micro SDHC cards for AML devices are Samsung EVO(+) or Sandisk UHS-1 Class 10.

Virtually exactly the same when running LE on all three.
The WeTek's will give you dual boot and the ability to use Android Apps & HD Netflix etc. This can be easily flip / flopped via the WeTek's IR remotes. So you have more flexibility.
The C2 will give you slightly better HDMI-CEC - OFF / On control - a HDMI CEC connected TV can signal the C2 to turn itself on, when the TV is turned on.
The WeTek's currently do not offer that. But these devices use so little power you can leave them on 24/7 anyway.
C2 can be safely CPU and RAM overclocked and its easier just flashing LE to faster eMMC Flash storage and then just plugging eMMC in and power up.
I have not taken into account included WiFi or IR remote controls or cases.
It really depends what you features you really need in the end.
I recommend a Wireless remote when using any Kodi media player for immediate Graphic User Interface responsiveness.

Hi wrxtasy,
I know this is a "pick the right kodi BOX"-thread,
but I don't wanted to create a new thread, because my question is related to those boxes:
Are there any remotes with changeable battery, 2.4GHz and headphone jack (and as superior version with learnable IR functions?)
The Rii i25A does the audio part but does not have changeable batteries and no IR (learning).
Mele F10 Deluxe does not have headphone jack neither changeable batteries, but has IR learning.
Anything between these?!
Thank you.
