So what is the next best thing if you want to do SW? Or is it better to somehow wait for the V5? Even if the V4s were somehow a serendipitous use of a type of TV tuner that is out of production now…

Good question.
I’m not sure if anyone has created a list. There’s several Wikipedia articles about SDR, including comparison lists, but AFAIK they don’t have pricing information.
