Should I buy the full size 3rd Gen or 4th Gen?

I have a 5 year old and an almost 3 year old. My 5 year old has a Yoto mini 3rd gen that he loves. We are only 1 year in so we haven’t amassed a lot of cards yet. Maybe 20 at most because he has a few MYOs full of a lot of podcasts and other stories (3+ hrs of content per card haha)

Anywho, I’m thinking of getting a full sized Yoto for home use. Main reason is for better sound quality for both boys to listen to audio together. Maybe occasionally to take into the car so it’s louder for both to listen to better. And then occasionally if they want to listen to different things, having two players they can use separately. I could just get another mini but I just wanted something a bit louder than the current mini.

We have Yoto club that will expire soon sometime in Nov or Dec. Was hoping to wait until Black Friday sales to see what the price of both the gen 3 and gen 4 full sized will be.

I’m currently leaning towards gen 3 because I feel like it covers most of what I’m looking for at a cheaper price. I can’t buy secondhand as I’m in Nz and there really aren’t that many people reselling yotos here. My only reason for considering Gen 4 was for some of the slight upgrades with larger memory, faster downloads and maybe better sound. I don’t have many feelings about the green button but I guess if we kept our Yoto club subscription, my kids could just have a few of those Yoto cards exclusive to club on rotation for easy access that I don’t have to bother making cards for 😅.

I’ve seen reviews for gen 4 minis, are there any yet for gen 4 full sized? Are they out yet?

Edit: just saw somewhere that then Gen 3 full sized might sell out before Black Friday sales 🫣 oh dear. I’m trying to not let that scare me into buying it now haha.
