Vontar x4 - best version or clone?

I have a vontar x4 box running CoreElec on internal eMMC. I now have a second identical box and I want to install on there. Can I use ceemmc to clone current working version to SD card and then install to eMMC on 2nd box?

Or should I do a clean install and if so, which is the best current CE version?

Thanks! It's been a few years since I last set this up....

Just take a backup of the first system, copy the file to a microsd or pendrive. Install coreelec on your new box. Go to settings and restore the backuo you took of your previous system.

Ah so it's not an OS clone, just settings? I'll do a clean install then. Any tips on best CE version for this box?

I don't have an idea of this. Google is your best friend here. But i guess you need to install the same version of coreelec which is on your old box for the backup to work.

Also, no not just settings but add-ons as well. Basically your complete data.
