KM6 deluxe has better specs than the KM2 plus. But lacks Netflix certification. If you don't care about Netflix then the KM6 deluxe is better. Beelink GT King is actually very powerful compared to KM6 and KM2. but it lacks official ATV and Netflix certifications. Again same, if you don't care about certifications or ATV then the King is the best.
