Also, I ordered the day after black Friday. Walmart said I'd receive it the next day (I have Walmart+). Then, I got a message that the delivery was delayed. Finally, it was canceled. So, I think it is definitely a YMMV deal.
Does your TV have Dolby Vision and are you trying to watch a source that can use it?
There does seem to be a slight boost to video quality with Dolby Vision turned on.
My plan is to connect the Roku to an hdmi audio extractor -> stereo out analog -> powered speakers. There is no volume control on the HDMI extractor
Or rather..it controls the TV volume or an ARC connected device that you have connected to your TV

If you want the button on the unit, I believe the Roku 4 and older Roku Ultras have this button feature. I would be careful with the Roku 4 units because they have thermal issues unless you want to mod one. There is an older Roku Ultra LT that does not have it too.
I do not use this feature. So I would not know if I am off or not with this info.
If you care about cutting the cord with out subscriptions, Roku has better free curated content. Roku with headphone support is pretty slick. Owning an apple TV will give you the best "show me all my apps" interface and a modern remote that you will easily lose and has low tactile feel. If you watch YouTube a lot, get a Chromecast to get a YouTube app with no ads. If you want a box that works best offline for vehicle(RV, mini van) use with your own curated content, get a chromecast... You can connect it to an SD card, run Kodi and have a library of movies on the go. apple and Roku imo are too much of a pain to customize.
For performance, Apple fan boys will say, but this version is 2 seconds faster to launch YouTube... Well guess what "since you don't have a YouTube, Netflix or Disney+ button on the physical remote... You need those extra seconds to actually get to the app and launch it instead of 1 button press on remote like others have".
Speed is relative.. are we talking about remote control launch speed process, app startup speed or voice launch speed process because they are different for all and I'd argue that the physical remote is king especially for elderly and developing children.
My reco per priority:
Chromecast: ad free YouTube, offline media box use, maximum universal remote functions, finding new curated content per your habits, Google assistant bias, gphotos ambiance mode
apple: slick interface flex, air pod connectivity, iphone screen sharing, icloud photo screensaver
roku: cable cutter wanting to minimize paid subscriptions, durable and tactile remote for young and elderly, simplest interface
fire stick: Alexa assistance bias
It shows the devices that is still supported and not supported.
