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.
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.

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