@chrisnielsen82: this will play from plex server, but you would want the pro in order to serve as a Plex server. Only the pro has the extra USB3 storage ports to connect external drives to serve from.
Any way you go (I recommend the pro) it's a hell of a player for just about any content. I disable the "smart" features of my TVs and have them start right up to these. CEC is wonderful for that so you can often just use one remote. You can also run Kodi for more in-home served media options.
This smaller model is nice for a plug and play setup where you plan to consume, not serve.
