Am I wise to Upgrade ?
At present I have a Duo v2 with 2x WD Red 2TB Discs, Its running OK streaming Music, Movies etc to my Android devices, S$ phone, Galaxy note 10.1 tablet using the Asus iCloud App with my router. Ready...
If you are running ok, why change ? Do you need that processing power ?
Just wait for 6.2 and check the new features, maybe you'll need one of them and I hope 6.1.6 and 6.2 will fix everything faulty with the OS6 units.
6.1.5 made my RN104 actually usable, not perfect but it crashes less often and I haven't had to power cycle it the hard way since the update, waiting a few minutes is now enough when it locks (still dropping the transfer which is really annoying though). I'm waiting for new features that I think OS6 lacks with the 6.2. The OS is pretty basic so there is plenty of room for good surprises. I do agree 102/104 are limited in many ways and if you have the money I'd go with intel CPU too (HDMI, more software, more processing power...).
