	Not IMO. If I were to buy another PI right now (and I own a bunch!), I 
would buy a 3B and NOT a 3B+ nor a 4 - the power problems with these 
later PIs far outweigh any benefits for us in this community.

	All my HamVoip installs (and other PI servers) run just fine on a 3B - 
the extra CPU power etc is just not something you need, and I can 
testify that the log-filling and screen-filling voltage alarms are too 
much crap to put up with.

	Mostly, I just need a PI ... not a chrome-plated high-compression 
turbo-driven tight-tolerance V8 monster card!

	Just be sure to get a good solid 5V 2.5-3A power supply.

	A personal opinion - YMMV,
