+1. I could have written this :). Exactly my setup and experience. I have two 3b+ pcP LMS only (with USB HDD), and have deployed 2 others to friends. I have 4 that I just started paying with, but have found the 3B+ fine for my needs. There are several threads where "new to the setup" (myself included) have been walked through by allot of good people and advice. If you like, I'll search and post the threads...
