Thank you. I was aware of the other differences between the Pro 6 and Ultra 6 Plus (CPU speed and warranty).
I guess there is no difference in power consumption between the Pro 6 and the Ultra 6 Plus. The Ultra 6 uses 74W compared to the 82W Pro 6 and Ultra 6 Plus. So, the power savings (8W) mentioned in other postings is really only found in the Ultra 6 which has the slower Atom CPU.
The product comparison for the Pro 6 seems to indicate that the media streaming features are pre-installed (i.e., they are not listed as being optional). I will assume that the software manual for the business product line just omitted the section on pre-installed media streaming services. I guess I won't know for sure until I get the Pro 6 and run Radiator.
