I've used several ecobee in my office and multiple Nest-E at home. Ecobee is so much better, more user friendly, easier to adjust and set schedules, and get your historical data out of it. Nest looks cool but is terrible for function and user experience. The WORST part is they advertise the usefulness of historical data on the Nest and you can only see the last 10 days. How is 10 days of usage history useful? I am so sorry I have Nest at home.
Well, your suspicions are wrong. it's pretty screwed up for you to be spreading false information. Nest has been well known for providing only 10 days of data. I just checked and it only shows 10 days.
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."
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!

Love my Ecobee SmartThermostat but hate the naming of the model. Should have been like 4 or 5 or something in line with their other releases.
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?
Is there any real reason to get this one over the Costco one? What benefit does this really have over the Costco kit? I already have Alexa devices, so no need for that particular feature for me. Safe to assume if you didn't, that would be one reason? I also don't need to listen to music or talk to people via my thermostat.
I have this and like it for the most part. However one thing that really annoys me is the lack of a multi-user geofencing option. Without it, geofencing is pointless unless you live alone or one family member is always the last one to leave, first one home.

I had nothing but trouble with the nest thermostat I've had three generations also had the smoke detector which was a nightmare. No sold them and never look back

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.
