Connections on the top and display on the front is much better. Definite improvements.
But with the breaker and power switch still on the side. You can't place them side by side for a clean install.
It would be a lot cleaner, if you could line them up side by side. Put a standard electrical trough across the top of all of them. And put the AIO's on top of the trough.
These are just suggestions for version 3.

Depends on each setup. For example I’m putting 4 power pros as a 2x2 setup = = from wall so the side screen and breakers are actually accessible for me

That's a very odd setup. But yes, each installation has its individual needs.

Can it be paralleled with the outdoor version? Connections looks the same, I assume the protocol is the same?

I'm switching sides now to say I wish it was all one side lol. Because I'm picturing these things lined up sideways back to back. I'm extremely space constrained.
But overall my impression is just that I can see one of these in my future. They're getting down near the price that I did my first DIY for, but that was with a lot of expensive and not mandatory BMS complication.

Try Solar, the Grid will always take you back
Our wirebox is cheaper than standard trough and saves time I think

A knockout pattern for a standard trough might not be that hard with a greenlee / jigsaw. Might look better.
I wish they would use the 304Ah cells. Getting over 15kWh just seems better.
15.45 kwh. That’s a 8% ah increase, at what price tho.

Personally I don't like the wire boxes. They're gaudy and look out of place.
One single correctly (visually) sized trough, would be a much cleaner look.
It's probably fine for others, but my OCD is in charge of the finished look of my projects.
How close to each other can you install them, to be able to reach in and access the on/off and breaker on the side? The 12" requirement of the older model was pushing me toward server rack style batteries, but if only 3-4" or so required for these, they would sure be a space saver for our new build.

I would think that 4" would be enough. If you remove the breaker cover.
Maybe more, if you need to open and close it.

Anxious to see how the spacing between them comes out with the conduit boxes, I can't tell how much the recommended 12" spacing on the outdoor model is code and how much is reasonable access to the side controls. Will seems to want to put them right up next to each other, but the latches on the conduit boxes will require _some_ minimum spacing.

First impressions:
Feet! Love the feet, wish the Outdoor had leveling feet.
Will mentions the fans spooling up in his load test, but that's the inverter, yes? No fans in the battery box, correct?
10% less than the outdoor model is nice, but I'm glad I have the outdoor model on the way.
Overall, very nice, this is the one that I'd put in my FL condo for grid support/UPS. Someday, after I win the lottery. 8*)

The new Ruixu one is 304 or maybe 314Ah cells
