And even the cheapest versions come with a remote that can control your TV's power and volume. You can still watch "Prime", but you also get Roku's FREE streaming service, which is just as good -- better if you like old TV shows. We've been watching all the old Hitchcock shows.

We've been using firesticks for years without the problems you seem to have encountered: no upgrade issues, no need to replace the firestick (though ours are fairly new so maybe there would have been an issue with an older one) Our firestick remotes control the TV power and volume as well.
I have heard Roku has a cleaner user interface. I just haven't had an opportunity to try it or a need to replace anything yet.
