The problem with the echo dots is the poor audio quality. The Google minis have better sound, but are nowhere as flexible with services/skills. The screen versions are probably worth the extra - either the Show 5 or the Google Nest Hub. The Googles have chromecast as a big plus (and can easily be integrated into LMS if required)..
