The free 4K upgrades don't hurt either.

Not exactly. That credit goes to Amazon.

Amazon: The online retail giant was the first music store to sell DRM-free MP3s from the Big Four--EMI, Universal, Warner Music, and Sony BMG.

I remember buying drm-free music through Amazon well before Apple finally offered the same for the big labels.

On topic, I've owned a Roku 2, 3, and 4, and now own an Apple TV 4 (not 4k...yet). I removed the Roku 4 from the main TV and haven't hooked it up anywhere else. So yea, I like the Apple TV quite a bit.
