Raspberry Pi 5 w/ Home Assistant - Worth the Upgrade?

HAOS works with the RPI5 now. Is it worth it? Maybe...but the N95 might be a better choice at this point. N95 https://amzn.to/3GZfOxT RPI5 https://amzn.to/3tqpw9D Beelink N95 https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DF7... or https://amzn.to/40FykUh

This is the one I mentioned I saw on sale, there were only 12 in stock at the recording and the price could change - https://amzn.to/4ayFGhN

By request...I did test the N95 in the same build of ESPHome ESP32 -
Rpi 4 = 137 seconds, Rpi5 = 45 seconds, and N95 = 28 seconds

Boot time is 24 seconds on the N95 (probably would be faster but it has the delay to go into BIOS being an x86), vs the Rpi4 at 51 and Rpi5 at 39.
