Note you can add a 2.5GBe USB NIC for about $19. Easily done, driver install might take 10 minutes with reboots.
Run a script back here, install a USB NIC here…
It's funny that you don't see the overall problem here.

No problems here, it works flawlessly. And if you're afraid of adding a USB NIC to a box...wow.

The huge backlash by existing customers made Synology to walk back on the drive compatibility fiasco

Yep - six months ago everything was walked back, yet people still talk about it, some not realizing it was all walked back. The bad vibes will continue to hit Synology for years.
Of course, hours after the units were first released to the public, a year ago, people had developed easy ways to add any drive you wanted. It's Linux, after all...

Only you can define "worth it".
If you make $15 an hour, and this represents 30+ hours of work, I'd say no way.
If you make $100 an hour, and this is just beer money, then, maybe.
It all depends on if you're using the 218+ to the max and if you need 2 more bays and 2.5GB ethernet (which you can get for $19 with a USB 2.5GB NIC in a few minutes...) - if you don't need 2 more bays & faster CPU, then it's pointless to get this.
From a passmark point of view, the DS425+ is about 2.5x faster, which is nice for docker containers and such. But from a networking/gigabit point of view, it's unlikely to be that much faster, if only on gigabit at home. It all depends on what you want to do.

Came here to see if this was in the discussion! I would have excluding Synology from my options but now they are back on the table!
