Good point about HDMI ARC vs eARC.You won't achieve the full capability of the Sonos ARC soundbar but the soundbar itself sounds excellent and it will still work on HDMI ARC and handle different audio formats like PCM (2 channel), Dolby Digital (up to 5.1 channel) and DTS Digital Surround (up to 5.1 channel).
I would also ask this question. What modern soundbars only support HDMI ARC and not eARC? Do they exist and is there a savings going with those older soundbars?
Your choice also depends on what you want to achieve. If all you want is to improve upon the TV's built-in speakers, just about any lesser soundbar should do. On the other hand, a higher-end soundbar will sound better with more room filling sound even if the TV doesn't support the latest eARC and associated formats. That's my 2-cents worth.
I came across the article linked below. There are my others like it.
