If you are happy with it then Go You!!! I prefer automatic framerate switching, fractional frame rates, audio passthrough, deinterlacing other than bicubic or nearest neighbour, and the countless other features android kodi either doesn't offer or that don't work very well, along with the speed and stability the linux version of kodi offers. My main s905x box running Libreelec kodi can see uptimes of over a month with no problems, with <150mb of RAM used with a fanart heavy skin at idle, android can barely manage a day or two before needing to be rebooted and uses the best part of 1gb of RAM just to sit idle.
I've run kodi on various boxes, ranging from the Amlogic 8726MX SoC that kicked the TV Box all off - through s802, s805, s812 upto current s905 & s905x SoCs. Also experience with Allwinner A33 & H3 SoCs, Broadcom BCM2835/7 (rasp pi 2/3) on single board computers, and various Snapdragon and Mediatek implementations on tablets/phones. Also used the Intel X86/64 version in various linux distros (including Libreelec) and under windows. Way before all that I started running it on the first xbox console when it was known as XBMP/XBMC - at which time I contributed code to the project. In every case the Linux (and Windows) version is vastly superior to android.
Don't get me wrong, it's amazing what the team have achieved on android, especially when the SoC manufacturers make life difficult and workarounds have to be found (amcodec notable amongst them, which has finally been deprecated as of Kodi 17), but that is in spite of the platform, not because of it.
It's now so easy to boot linux from SD card on many devices that it isn't even an issue - boot from SD and enjoy all the advantages of Libreelec then reboot into android if you need to use an android app - the best of all worlds.

Any real-word experience of these running KODI? Is it a bit hot & miss? All I want is something to play from my Plex PC (currebtly use KODI with Plexbmc add-in on a W10 PC) but quite a few of the Amazon reviews mention KODI being a bit rubbish.

I run KODI all day long on a 1gb version, works perfectly fine.

Kodi on android is a mess. The team try, but it's a pretty terrible platform to build a media player on. But boxes with an Amlogic SOC such as this can run libreelec - either booting from SD card or alternately by installing to internal eMMC and completely replacing android. This transforms them into pretty amazing media centres that can also run usenet or torrent clients, web servers, even use them as a NAS in a pinch. Libreelec for these boxes can be downloaded from LibreELEC › COMMUNITY › Amlogic
Netflix will be 480p, as these don't have the widevine certification required for higher.

I find KODI a bit wonky, even on an Nvidia Shield. I've yet to try 17 / Krypton so perhaps things have improved?
Plex runs extremely well on the Shield, not had any issues.

pretty sure netflix 4k doesn't work on these due to copy protection hand shakes etc. not even sure it does 1080p? can anyone confirm what netflix is like on these android boxes? 5.1 surround sound? chromecast and fire stick do.
