Thanks in advance guys..!!

Not sure about your current e2 stb?
but consider also androidtv hw, eg: TiVo 4k or a Xiaomi, , etc. etc. device
keep your e2 stb as a streaming device to your (android) client(s),
not sure about your definition of "good" but must admit there are a few quirks, eg ticker.
therefore check your tv settings as well androidtv settings carefully

Gigabit LAN is a commercial argument a STB is not a PC so you probably won't get the full Gigabit LAN speed on a STB.
H7C is now a few years old may be better to get a more recent Zgemma to get a more up-to-date kernel moreover this model is still using a Broadcam (BCM) SoC, today I think it is better to look for a STB equipped with a HiSilicon Soc (name starting with HI)
If you plan to use it as a mediaplayer HiSilicon reads many more video format than BCM.
