Out of curiosity, why did you decide on an annual Plex subscription over the lifetime option? Do you just doubt the viability of the lifetime option or is something else going on?
It's a case of try it properly before you pay the helluva-much-higher price.
Since then I've come around considering lifetime subscription, but now they've upped the price for it a little more. And right now I have enough other things sucking up my funds.
In a perfect illustration of human irrationality, I will probably get around to it later.
