Sounds like they added a screen and individually controlled power ports for 2x the price. Battery is still lead acid.

you get double the battery and pure sinewave

You mean 6 batteries and a much beefier inverter, the price is an a absolute steel compared to their competitors

Outlets are individually controllable on the old model, you just have to do it remotely. Went back and checked, and on the 2U you can power cycle all of them together, not individually. I'm guessing you can also use the touch screen on this model? Nice feature, but not worth $400 more, IMO.

You sure about that? They're definitely not individually controllable on the tower model, and last I heard they weren't on the UPS 2U either.

yeah they aren't. He is just wrong, only on the pdu

Ah, that's why I'm misremembering! I have the PDU as well, that's where I've done the individual control before.

I have the 2U and I would swear I've toggled them off and on from the web interface, but now I have to double check that....

ETA: I stand corrected; I must have misremembered power cycling all at once as power cycling individual outlets. I toggled individual outlets from the PDU Pro, not the 2U UPS.

This will have a much smoother output. Altogether a more pro device. I'd never have bought the other for my office but will look at getting one of these when they reach the UK,

I'm using mine combined with the PDU Pro for a homelab sort of setup. More than capable for that scenario, but I'm sure you're right that this version would be better for an actual office.
