But, no need to take your or my word for it. Let's use data and references and critical thinking.
Google support page for the nest:
"Your thermostat's Energy History is a detailed summary that covers the last 10 days. You can view it on your thermostat or with the Nest app on a phone, tablet, or computer."
https://support.google.
Anywho. Maybe you've got a magic nest, or can't count. But, PLEASE share proof rather than assertion as if you are correct I'd love to get that data out of it. I know there are 3rd party scripts to scrape the google API and get your data but they are a pain.
One of the greatest potential values of a smart thermostat is the data over long periods of time to establish seasonal energy consumption changes. Nest makes this impossible. However, ecobee makes it EASY!

That being said, I got mine in an Amazon Warehouse Deal for $170 last year. Looked like an unopened return because everything was still new. So $199 for new is a no brainer.
One item I'll mention is that I never really found a use for the extra sensor, but I don't have multiple zones. I use it as more of a "I told you it's not hot in the room, you just sleep with a heavy blanket!"
I don't use the voice or Spotify features either. Why do I need my thermostat for that?
Also remember the C wire. You need it always. You can add a transformer you plug in 24v or a doorbell kind that bolts onto a powerbox.
