I have owned the JBL Link View, the JBL Link 300 (speaker), the Lenovo 8" Smart Display, Google Home, and Google Nest Hub.
Out of all of the Google Assistant displays, the JBL has the best sound quality, hands down. With the small subwoofer, it generates more bass than any other Google smart display.
If you want the display more for the digital photo aspect first and the sound second, I recommend the Google Nest Hub. Google did an amazing job with their adaptive displays and they easily beat out the glossy, computer screen look of the Lenovo and JBL displays. They can also be found for around half this price (on sale).
The Lenovo is still noteworthy and isn't bad at all. The speaker may even be better than the Google Nest Hub.
All of that being said, if you are only looking for a Google Assistant device and a good sounding speaker, the JBL Link 300 is an awesome option. It brings a significant amount of bass and produces clean sound even at high volumes. I have not noticed any difference in it's Google Assistant experience in comparison to any of my other Google branded Google Assistant devices. You can find them open-box or refurb on eBay for probably half this price and get two for what you would pay for one of these JBL displays. Two Link 300s would give you a formidable sounding speaker setup.
It is really all personal preference amongst these selections for Google Assistant devices. What you are looking for and how you listen to your media content can help dictate if you need/want a device with a screen or if you could save money on just a smart speaker

They both run same OS. The JBL has a larger screen and camera for video chats. It also has a lot better sound quality. The screen quality is better on the Google however. If you plan to do a lot of viewing on these (I use a hub in my office to watch YouTube TV in a pinch) the larger screen size of the JBL comes in handy.
I don't really understand why you're discouraging people from getting this, alone. When I first plugged the JBL in and heard just how much better the sound was, I felt it was worth more than a bathroom speaker and considered maybe even getting this second one for the living room (to replace or compliment the mini under the couch). But I reminded myself that I will someday, key word there, get a soundbar with a sub, maybe even 7.1, Dolby atmos and all that and will use that as the living room speaker, similar to what I think you're suggesting.
I didn't get the soundbar yet because I just dropped a bunch on a new TV (that doesn't NEED a soundbar yet) and I've been a bit excessive with my Google home spending, anyway. Spending another two to six hundred (or more??) on a decent soundbar isn't an immediate option. Also, I'm looking to connect my old DSLR to my TV to have Duo calls on the big screen. That'll take a little more money as well.
In the meantime, if I just wanted decent sound, anywhere in my place, that can connect to my other home devices, and make video calls, this is easily the best and cheapest bet, compared to the smaller Hub with no camera, the more expensive Hub Max, or a whole soundbar and the cost that includes.

Is it close to the JBL link 300 audio quality. I have that, and it rocks.
That kinda killed it for me last time.
Now I have to decide b/w this and a $50 google hub
