I think I'll go for it, just matter of finding a good deal, and this one will be sold
Probably the best option would be to switch to something else at this point. I would pick either Qnap or Synology. Those two made my shortlist back in 2012, when I got my Synology unit. I picked Synology at the time due to better VMware support they had back then. On that metric they are pretty much equal now I think, unless Qnap doesn't support VAAI over NFS like the Synology now does, but I digress.
What you want to do with it will determine the processor and (by extension) the model you get, but if it were me I'd try to stay away from anything with an Arm CPU in it. They tend to be a little leaner in the performance department, which can be a little risky if you want to do things like transcoding. The good thing about Arm is that they use less power, so for something that could very well be powered-on 24/7 in your home, that might be important for you.
