Thanks, that's sort of what I figured. But the cost is almost the same for the 3+ and the 4 2GB, so why not just get the "better" one.

For Retro Pie not either will work fine.
The 4gb version is if you want to run a full operating system for example, that is where it shines.

Imo, it’s still not a good option for plex. A used NVidia shield sub $100 is the best option imo

Target was actually selling 4GB Pi4s mislabeled as 2GB for ~$50. Based on that post on this site, I rolled the dice and ordered the "2GB" from Target online and got a 4GB Pi4. YMMV though.
