Nice update mate.
Another category worth considering is the Cheap Dual media device group..
Utilizing superior HDMI CEC control with 2 media devices.
All the benefits of superior video for pure Kodi playback plus you then get the HD paid video streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon - etc all on the same CEC compatible TV.
The RPi 2 forms the base device for this category and then the first choice companion device for paid streaming services is the bargain Amazon Fire TV Stick with its included quality remote. For those where the AFTV Stick is unavailable then the Chromecast would also be an option.
This is far more preferable than even the all in one media box, due to minimal compromises as you are only really missing out on HD audio with the RPi 2, a remote is not even needed for the RPi 2 if you have a modern CEC HDMI compatible TV.
