I'd be using only Google Home devices if I knew then what I know now.

Liking my Google Home slightly more than the Amazon Echo

I started with the original Amazon Echo and have since then purchased the Amazon Echo Dot and Google Home. I prefer to simplify things whenever I get a chance and if I had to do that right now, I would stick with only the Google Home devices. Google's response time is faster, it speaks actually faster, and some of its answers to simple things like weather are more what I expect. When you ask Alexa for the temperature it gives you an entire lengthy forecast. When you ask the Google home for temperature, most of the time it simply gives you just the temperature which is exactly what I want. When it comes to music playback, I actually do prefer the Amazon Alexa. I prefer the crisp clear treble over the superior bass sound in the Google home. I also prefer that I can select from a more built up purchased MP3 library on the Amazon Alexa. So, for now, I keep both of them. What are your thoughts on these two devices?
