Upgrade to Chromecast 4k today, or wait until Google TV Streamer releases? (lemmy.ml)

Context: I have a Chromecast with Google TV today that I'm quite happy with, after having heavily customized the thing. However, it's only 1080, and I recently got a 4k TV and would like to be able to get the full mileage out of it.

Now that Google are sunsetting the Chromecast series, is it a bad idea to pick up a 4k Chromecast, or should I just wait for the new device to drop? It seems a bit pricier and I'm not sure if there are any features I should necessarily wait for.

My use-case is basically watching YouTube/Nebula/Netflix/Jellyfin.

I have a 4k Chromecast but I'll be replacing it with the streamer once it comes out. Mine has been a bit flaky lately, requiring frequent reboots.

I thought it was only mine. Guess they're ready to apply the obsolescence update to these soon.
