Google Mini or Amazon Alexa? in Life After 60

Okay, I have been a little slow jumping on this whole “smart” house revolution. Privacy concerns aside, I just didn’t see a need. Until I got one. And I think it is great except for the fact it makes me lazy. “Hey Google, turn on the T.V.”
The real test comes from which is better? After doing my homework I went with Google Home Mini. It is set up to control the lights in my living room, kitchen, and bedroom. No more walking down the hallway in the dark and stumping my toes.
What I like is being able a access my Google Play List from Google Music. The songs I upload can be played with just a command, “Hey Google play Kenny Chesney from my play list. And like magic the music starts. What I don’t like? “Hey, Google play, Take It To The Limit, by the Eagles.” I’m sorry that song is only available with premium music.”
Enter The Amazon Echo Dot with Alexa! “Alexa, play Take It To The Limit, by the Eagles. Bam! Randall Herman Meisner starts belting out those notes like magic. The thing I don’t like about Ms. Dot? She cant’ access my Google Music. But her music selection is so much better than Googles. Granted I could upload the music to Google Music but where’s the fun in that? But then again, I pay $120.00 a year for my Amazon Prime Membership and nothing for Google Music.
So which is better? They both have their pluses and minuses. Google does seem to be a little slow at responding to commands and some days she misses them all to gather. Alexa? I really haven’t found anything except for the not being able to load my own music to, that I don’t like. So I have both. I wonder if I could get them to talk to each other?
