For that specific model, I am in complete agreement. The first generation of Express players are woefully lacking compared to every new device now available. My personal recommendation is the Express 4K+. Even if you don't have a 4K TV, its features and performance are worth the price step up from the basic Express (which even itself is a vast improvement over yours).
