I'll be using this for netflix and hulu...

 

Ignore all the differences.. 

 

What I would want to know is how well does the chromecast work in an area where the wifi is poop? I know the Roku is dualband so it would do fairly well at the end of the house.. I'm able to get 720/1080p on my slim ps3 if thats any kind of indicator.

 

Is the roku worth the extra $60 ish?

If you don't mind using your phone/tablet/pc as a remote, then just use a chromecast. 

I don't think the wifi would be too much of an issue.
