Well... At first glance I think it's just a more expensive echo... however, I think I'll reserve my opinion until I see more, as it does have the ability to upgrade and evolve a little at least... The camera feature is virtually useless to me, as I am a mechanic with no social life other than with my wife and online... so fashion means very little to me. But as some mention... make some changes in what the camera can be used for or it's applications... then maybe it could be a worthy purchase.
Physically I'm having a hard time seeing how the microphones will be the same and it will definitely need to be placed at a wall, and not in the center of any room... But I also know my 2 echoes are almost against walls anyway, due to arrangement of furniture and electrical outlets.
