Thanks, @Lexi!
To clarify - my current server works on any web-enabled device anywhere in the world. If I added you as a user, you could instantly browse and consume any/all of my content.
I guess the idea with the dedicated device is that it would be exclusively for my music. I could preload the 256GB microSD with 15,000 tracks (that's the estimated capacity for the average MP3), hit "shuffle all," and have my own ambient radio station commercial-free. I know 15,000 is a cripplingly small track count compared to my server-operated library, but that's part of the nostalgic charm.
I can technically do that now on my phone, tablet, and Chromebook, with whatever selection I queue in advance. The idea is that by preloading a lot of content on a PMP, I could have a surprise factor and potentially discover music buried in my library that I wouldn't necessarily have thought to queue on my phone.
I understand that's a minor feature and technically I don't really need a PMP. I just thought it would be fun to nostalgically re-live the early 2000s in music tech.
That's my thinking.

I'm posting it here because this thread is active.
That footage of Diddy beating Cassie 😯
What a scumbag. Hope somebody can get to him and sort him out properly.

It seems like your setup is pretty robust and covers a lot of situations. I guess it comes down to whether you think this player would add any new functionality or would offer great enough convenience to justify the price. I think if you leave the house frequently I'd be more inclined to say it could be a good investment.
If any of you Europeans wonder why the US Congress can't hardly ever get anything useful done, and why it has such low approval ratings, I present to you, exhibit #10547374:
