If I only have a 1080p TV and really don't plan on upgrading any time within the next 5 years, is there a reason to use this over the 1st gen chromecast? Is it faster or anything?

Wouldn't recommend it. Only real difference is 4k... which confuses the hell out of me. People on here with 4k capable TVs and it wasn't already "smart" seems like a bad purchase.
