Here is a controversial thought; do you need to replace the 4?
I can't speak for the OP, but in my case.... It was very much a resounding YES!!!!! If your using Pis as general home servers, like I was, you can very quickly run into resource constraints. I wound up replacing 5 Pi 4's with a pair of 4th gen Intel boxes and I'm still hit resource limitations from time to time. Though now it is more io related then ram or cpu.
You didn't blindly upgrade to the next Pi. Not upgrading or upgrading to something you know meets your demands are the right things to do. I assume upgrading to a Pi 5 is not that for most people
In my case I need the 5 for the extra power. It will exactly meet my demands, and the 4 'only' does 90% of the time.
And if I could find something cool for the 4, I would buy the 5 immediately. But I think I need to know that I can use it for something. Otherwise I will feel bad buying the 5.
On the other hand, they're relatively cheap and it gives you a spare to tinker with, or at least that's what I told myself last week when I ordered another Pi3 since I saw they came back in stock on Digikey after all these years.
