Default Best "budget" 4K UHD Player

looking at one of the budget players for the living room. I already have a Ps5, a Panny UB820, and an X800 in the main home theater room, and am looking at a more "budget" one for the front of the room.

deciding between the UB-150, the UB450 and the Ub420

now, I know the UB-150 and the UB-450 are basically the same player, just without and with DV respectively.

My TV doesn't have DV on it out front, but that may change one day as the TV is over 7 years old and who knows when I may need an upgrade. that being said, this TV is for light viewing when I'm bored and don't want to boot up the whole theater system (no sound system, just TV and player) so having DV isn't some super necessary thing, but if the player I get has it, then so be it.

anyways being that the 3 players are withing $20-$50 of each other at MOST, which would be the more reliable player? do the 150/450 have any benefits over the more costly 420? are they LESS reliable than the venerable 420?

I've heard that the 150/450 run ice cold compared to the 420, so they don't need that whining fan that always irritates me on the UB820 that I have (and I assume the UB420 has). But at the same time I'm not sure how well they're built compared to the venerable 420/820

I tend to have stuck to the big UB820, X808 sets as my main ones, but just looking to see what my best best in terms of a solid reliable player that doesn't NEED all the frills and addon's of the higher end stuff. It's living room player that is going to be used for lazy man viewing vs. dedicated theater room. so see what my best bets are in the $200 or under range
