You won’t find any real speed difference here. The main reason you may want to upgrade is the new remote. The new remote will allow you to turn on and off the TV as well as adjust the volume of your TV. That may not be enough to make you want to replace your 2016 Roku Stick but if you are buying a new player you may want to get the 2017 over the slightly cheaper 2016 version.
