I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to kit out most of my home with Sonos last year, and it's been an absolute delight. Over two floors my Wi-Fi is a touch flaky upstairs, but that was easily solved by adding a Sonos Boost to my router, which essentially creates a separate network just for the speakers. 

Using the Controller app for Apple Music isn't quite as nice as being able to use the official app, but I find it works quite well. Queuing up songs, and then editing the 'up next' queue is just as easy. 

Grouping multiple rooms for whole-home sound is also dead simple. 

For me the real advantage over a Bluetooth speaker is the ability to play songs from multiple music services, including local libraries, without having to change apps. That might not matter for some people, granted. 

I also prefer not having to carry a single speaker around the house, or worrying about connectivity issues if I move around and stray too far. 

I added the sub to my set up. The difference when adding a sub to the Playbar is dramatic; it might be overkill for a smaller room, but for a large living room it makes a significant difference. 

Also, the review states that "the Play:1 can only be mounted on a stand" - this is not the case, it can be wall mounted like the Play:3 just fine.
