Cancelling Icloud & Spotify for Prime

Am trying to weigh up the pros and cons of cancelling our Icloud and spotify subscriptions and taking out the annual prime membership.  

As far as I can see it, prime would be better based on my understanding below:

Icloud - £7 a month = £84 a year
Spotify - £10 a month = £120 a year
£204 per year total.

Prime - £95 for the year and includes music, storage, prime delivery etc (we probably wouldn't watch the TV much)

Is there anything I have missed? I was worried about not being able to transfer over my Spotify playlists but it seems you can do that too.   I guess the only thing with the storage for amazon is only 5gb worth of video?

    Prime Music 'only' includes about 2 million songs. The full Amazon Music with 90m is £8.99 p/m for Prime customers (£14.99 family plan)
    Additional 100gb of storage is £1.49 per month

    That is not very clear on the packages!

    I’m sure it said unlimited streaming of music for £95

    Yes, there is unlimited streaming but only of around 2 million tracks.

    You may also find that in some instances you can't stream an entire album on the basic Prime package.
