EE Smart Hub vs. EE Smart Hub Plus vs. BT Smart Hub 2

[CJL8]

So i've been with BT for over 2 years using their Smart Hub 2, but recently have agreed to switch over to EE broadband as part of the deal.
This is for 500mb fibre.

I noticed that the package included the new Smart Hub Plus, but when I enquired about (originally told I was keeping the Smart Hub 2) I have been sent the EE Smart Hub (was advised I would get a new BT Smart Hub 2).

What is the general advantages of having an EE Smart Hub Plus over a standard EE Smart Hub? Is the EE Smart Hub similar quality to the BT Smart Hub 2? 

Have I been hoodwinked out of a better router than i've been given consider the EE Smart Hub Plus is more recent technology?

@CJL8 Where you will really notice the difference between the Smart Hub Plus (Think of it as a Smart Hub 3) is your WIFI speed. On a 500mbps connection you will get this speed  (in ideal conditions ) to your WIFI devices provided they can run at that speed.

For example on a 900mbps connection I get around 850mbps to my Pixel, whereas using a BT SH2 it was around 450mbps.

It’s not a Smart Hub Plus it’s just a Smart Hub

@Slang : The EE Smart Hub is much the same as the EE Smart Router except:

1. It is able to separate the WiFi  bands' SSIDs which is invaluable for dealing with troublesome 2.4 GHz devices.
2. You can schedule Access Control from the router itself rather than using an app.
3. It has no G.Fast modem which I believe was the principle reason for bringing out the Smart Router. This won't affect you as you're not on G.Fast.
