Would someone mind summarizing the the differences between the 4th Gen Dot and regular echo? What makes the Echo worth 2 twice the price?

I assume you want to know what makes the Echo 4 twice the price of the Echo Dot 4.
Echo Dot 4th gen audio: 1.6” speaker.
Echo 4th gen audio: 3.0” (76.2 mm) neodymium woofer and two 0.8” (20 mm) tweeters.
Also the Echo has a built-in smart device hub, the Echo Dot doesn't have the hub.
Is it worth twice the price? I really don't know as I’ve not heard the sounds from either. My Echo Plus 2nd gen is definitely worth twice the price of my Echo Dot 3rd gen because of the hub and much better sound. Granted the Echo Plus 2nd gen originally cost more than twice the amount of the Echo Dot 3rd gen, but the Plus models have been discontinued now and the Echo 4th gen has the hub like the Plus models did.
