Looking for advice on buying new discontinued music server - would you do it?

I have had Bluesound for several years and required a fair amount of tech support.  I don’t know how  much of a savings there is from an old unsupported Node2 and the current 2i, but since the Node2i only costs around $500, it can’t be that much.  I would buy the new unit and have the piece of mind that it will be supported.

Does the 2i support Roon? Use as a Roon endpoint? 

I bought discounted Node 2 devices when the Node 2i came out.  I also have a couple of their speakers.  The software is the same for all their devices as far as I know and there is a lot of information in their forums if you need help.  How good are you at figuring out things on your own?  If not very good, then maybe it's not a good choice.  If you don't mind doing a little reading and experimenting, you should be fine.
