Agreed. It would be nice to have a huge list of movie art to flip through (much like iTunes.) Then you could visibly see the movie you are wanting to watch 3 rows down and quickly swipe to it.

I am like you though and use my AppleTVs to access a large library on a Mini. That is why the new AppleTV doesn't interest me. Why spend money to upgrade to a more expensive device that has a bunch of features I don't need when the current model works fine for me?
Well it doesn't have gigabit ethernet, so that won't help. The 802.11ac wifi might be faster than the 100BT ethernet I am currently using. And the device might perform a little faster because of the new processor.
Even if it does, I can't imagine that these incremental improvements would justify me spending $300 to replace my two AppleTVs when I just don't care about new features like the app store or games. I also really dislike Siri so that's not a selling point, and I'm happy with the old style remote.
I'm sure the new AppleTV will be a nice upgrade for many people. Just not me.
I am simply not interested in spending $150 for another Apple TV no matter how wonderful it is. Seems perfectly logical to me. Apple comes out with new computers and phones every year and I don't try all of those either.
