Well, this one came out between the 3rd gen and 4th gen, but I consider this a whole different line. It's significantly cheaper, doesn't have the rotating ring, doesn't connect with the nest temperature monitors, and no screen on the front. It's basically a sequel to the old Nest E.

No, and it's not really worth it. I got the latest one through my power company and I like the upgrade.

This, except I'm not sure what you mean by "no screen." This line also lacks "learning" features to build a schedule automatically around your manual adjustments over time.

The inability to connect additional sensors is the killer anti-feature for my own use case. The Nest E was sensor compatible and they removed it for this one.

I had one of these until it died by lightning strike. I replaced it with a Mero ss MTS300 which is half the price and exceeds the Nest in features since it also supports matter. So you don't have to worry about your thermostat becoming a paper weight once Google is tired of supporting it.

Argh! I miss my nest Frown

I had a 2nd gen nest that they were ending support with, and I was frustrated with a few things about it, so I decided to try ecobee based on a recommendation from a trusted friend.

I regret trusting him.

I got the "smart premium" model, and it's not smart at all.

My nest could detect when I was out of the house for an extended period of time and would change to away mode until I got back. The Ecobee cannot.

My nest would adjust my schedule based on my behaviors - didn't always get it right, but it would try. My ecobee claims to make suggestions based on my behavior, but in the year I've had it, it hasn't made a single recommendation (and that's not because I've set a perfect schedule that never needs adjusting).

And the ecobee thinks the temp is ~4 degrees lower than it is if my ceiling fan is on. My nest never had that issue.

Be sure to check with your power company. Most will give free or discounted smart thermostats to customers. Got two Honeywell from Duke recently for $25 each.

I got one for free through my power company. My biggest complaint is that it's clearly designed around Heat+Cool mode. It forces a single shared schedule across all modes, requiring a multi-degree buffer between temperatures. Living in the Midwest with wild spring/fall swings, I'd rather just manually switch between heat and cool with independent schedules than keep adjusting the schedule thresholds.

Check your local energy or gas provider they often have massive discounts on these.

Cancelled my order. Read the recent reviews and a lot of negatives. Issues with connections, units malfunctioning after a month or two. Needing some sort of subscription for all features. My old brick on the wall still works fine for now.
