Time will tell!
I have one at bedside and one in the master bathroom. My original HomePod is in the living room.
The HomePod Mini in my master bedroom is used for listening to music, setting alarms, asking typical questions related to the time, temperature, business phone numbers, conversions, etc. as well as listening to thunderstorm sounds when I want to fall asleep sometimes. The HomePod Mini is worth the money to me.
