Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen8/10Sure, if you want a new smart display. At $99, the 2021 Nest Hub has a much lower MSRP than the old version, but that device hasn't sold for full price in ages. In reality, the new Hub might be a little more expensive at launch...

Sleep tracking is convenient, Processor bump makes UI more responsive, Slightly better speakers and mics

Easy to set up and use, Clear Audio and crisp video display – way better than a Google Nest Mini, Slide show or time display, Sound is adequate for the purpose, Sync to Spotify, Netflix, YouTube and more
No camera (may be a blessing), Don't have to use Sleep monitor (good thing)
