I kind of hope it's not any better, because if it is, I'm probably going to have to go with a dedicated streamer as it would probably be better still. And that's another deep, dark money pit.

Boy, are you in for a pleasant surprise!
A dedicated streamer does not have to be a money pit. You can buy an Allo DigiOne Signature for 315 or a refurbished Sonore microRendu B-stock for $429, and you're good to go.
