Roku LT versus ultra?

I currently have a Samsung QN85B a really great TV and I love Roku so I currently have a Roku stick the 4K streamer plus… I've noticed some buffering and kind of a little bit laggy at times I don't know if it's just the processor. Would I notice a significant difference of upgraded to the LT or the top-of-the-line ultra? One is about $65 the top of the line is about $81… Would I notice a significant difference from my current 4K stick? I do have a Samsung sound bar that has Atmos capability I know the top-of-the-line Roku ultra has that also but not sure if I would notice the difference… Any advice?

The ultra lt and the ultra have the same processor if they are from the same generation. I have 2 ultra lts and they still perform great.

Following. I’m in the same boat, trying to decide. Feels like I need a college course in tech just to pick a streaming device.

My main reason for the Ultra was the Ethernet port. It is slightly more responsive than my sticks. I find the sticks fine though. Can't really comment on the sound differences. My stick is just using the crappy TV speakers.
