I can access just about all the streaming sites with my Vizio smart TV.

Yes, both devices include far better apps that have gone through extensive testing, and get regular updates. Apps on the TV's are added as an afterthought to lure the consumer in. They work for the most part, but will exhibit issues from time to time. They generally require more internet speed to maintain a solid stream, and have been known to lock up occasionally, or cause a TV to reset.
If an issue occurs on an app on TV, good luck getting it fixed. If it happens on Roku, Firestick, or Chromecast, a fix is usually provided fairly quickly.
Also... once you have your device loaded and connected, when you replace your TV, just move the device over and everything is working.
