The Echo Plus keeps the original Echo's design (and its beloved volume ring) while adding in an aux-out jack, a Zigbee radio to control smart home devices, and an incremental boost in sound quality. It costs $30 less than the original Echo
The Plus also costs $50 more than the new Echo, which has everything the Plus has except for Zigbee. The Alexa app isn't the fully capable smart home control center that the Echo Plus needs it to be, at least not yet
Hold off on the Echo Plus until Amazon improves the Alexa app's smart home controls...

Sound quality of speaker isn't as rich as we'd hoped it would be, Doesn't allow you to connect to other Amazon devices linked to different household accounts
