There seems to two different versions of this inverter 1200va (1000 watt) available . Victron Pin# 121220500 for about USD $300 (this could be discontinued stock)
and Pin 122120500 for about $400.
The only difference I can see from the spec sheet is the more expensive model has VE connect abilities where as the other does not. For my application this does not matter. There are other minor differences like the external case and the input cable is fixed on the cheaper unit.
Actually output specs look better on the cheaper unit.
Am I missing something here? The cheaper unit seems significantly older and perhaps discontinued. But apart from that, any reason not to buy it. Were the old models noisy (fan) for eg? Or other reason?
Thxs for any advise from those who know these Victron units. I will be mail ordering, so a return will be impractical. BTW - I will be driving a 800watt, resistive load.
