So I've decided to get a new Pi for this build - mostly to be able to set it up and run it while the old system is still running.
I know there are guys out there that run a full Reef-Pi system on a Pi zero. I've always used a 3B because I had one available when I first set up a Reef-Pi. I l know the Reef-pi software is not that resource - hungry.
I pretty much subscribe to the "Buy once, cry once" mindset - within reason, so here's my question : Will I see any *Appreciable* difference in performance / user experience by upgrading to a Pi4 8GB unit?
Or should I just stick with another 3B+ unit. The Pi4 8GB is roughly 2 to 2.5 times the price of a 3B+, so if I'm likely to see a 10% improvement (or nothing at all) I might just go for a Pi4 2GB.
What's the feeling out there? Or am I overthinking this?
