 I can see a compute stick with 1/4 the RAM and 1/4 the SSD for £20 less, but not much else.

 I might consider getting one for my brother ...

Armbian on the oPi5 is getting much more stable, and there is a new, much faster version oPi rumoured. Potentially, kit that will have a more stable OS to begin with. Presumably due to the oPi getting a kicking for having poor software support.
I wouldn't buy anything rPi at the moment.
