Yeah for sure it doesn't make sense to put a high end box on a "kitchen" TV.  I only have one TV and that's the one in my home theater system.  It's not a matter of money for me, it's just I only watch TV there.  I want high end equipment in my system so that's my perspective.

I did actually buy an S905X board to start, but I wasn't sure how Kodi would work out for me so I didn't want to spend a lot to try it.  It works great so I went and picked up the high end one, no regrets, really happy with it.

If I had a high-end tv I'd want a cracking machine to get the most out of it too.  As it is the £12 S905X box is now sat under the tv working perfectly (tried coreelec and libreelec and they're both working amazingly well) and all an N2 would give me is a slightly snappier library. 
I still have an original pi running libreelec in my car - now that is slow!
