Compared the two, went with the Roku 3.

Netflix and Amazon apps are there, since we cut the cord a long time ago. I don't bother with Hulu. I run Plex Media Server and there's a Plex app for Roku, so I can stream 720p or 1080p .mkv files from the NAS to the Roku. I believe Chromecast supports it now too, but at the time of purchase it wasn't supported.

Biggest reason though? Wireless headphones, probably. The remote control has a 3.5mm jack in it, and when you plug in a set of headphones it kills audio on the TV and outputs it wirelessly to the headphones. So we can watch TV in the bedroom without disturbing anyone.
