I currently have Nest WiFi (2019 Model) - Is it worth it to upgrade to a 6E system or just wait for WiFi 7 systems to come down in price? (alien.top)

Since we're now soon to be three WiFi generations ahead of my current system when they ratify WiFi 7, I've been trying to sort out if I should even be looking at an upgrade.

Background details: I've got gigabit internet, I game (although not much anymore), but we're completely cordless and streaming 4K content is mostly good, but occasionally it seems like our network struggles to keep up. We also have a wide variety of IoT devices (smart plugs, speakers, even our fridge is WiFi-connected (I didn't ask for that feature), etc.).

Theoretically, our WiFi 5 system should be fine, but there's been a number of deals on 6E systems that have piqued my curiosity.
