Looking for advice, better to add Arlo Pro cam or Q/Q+ to Pro base setup

I recently purchased the Arlo Pro 4-pack. I was interested in adding a fifth and final camera for indoor use. Since the new pros can run on power does it make more sense to purchase another pro so all of the cams are connected to the base and saving locally? Or is the Q/Q+ quality that much better to justify the "non integration" into the base?

 

I'm aware that the Q/Q+ cannot connect to the base and requires its on scheduling. I use geofencing with my Arlo Pro setup.

Good question. I also have the Pro's outside and a Q in the house. I'm guessing that yes, the Q has a better picture simply because it's 1080 and not a 720 camera. If you bought a solo Pro model you would still have to purchase a seperate power cable which I assume Arlo might sell. 

 

The Q model also has the zone feature so it's much easier to set it up so that pets don't set it off all the time. The Pro doesn't have this. Bottom line is both will work fine indoors, just depends on your situation I guess.
