Xiaomi Smart vs quick cook?

Xiaomi just loves to make things confusing. Their cookers all look alike and have different functionality

I'm considering:

3 liter version

  • WiFi, app lets you pick rice type (long grain, multi grain, brown, jasmine etc.)
  • no quick cook option

4 liter version

  • no WiFi, so only one option for rice
  • quick cook option
  • 4l is an overkill for 1-2

I bought 3l ver. and i'm considering switching.

  • Waiting 1 hour to cook rice doesn't sound appealing to me but I guess I could just prepare rice and keep it warm for 1-3hrs with the setting for when I actually want to make food
  • Also I could just make a larger batch, freeze it and heat up in the microwave
  • I also read that quick cook option makes rice little mushier
