Don’t anyone let @sunshine_eggo fool you. I’ve even seen his giant veins pop out of his biceps when picking up the massive LF inverters and what do you know….conspiracy confirmed, by golly even his veins were blue!
Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

It's potted sand for improved heat transfer making passive cooling far more effective than without it. It's another reason why they're typically warm to the touch...the case is near the same temperature as the components generating the heat.

Yes threw me off at first I was expecting only the heatsink to get hot but then read that the entire case acts as a heatsink as well. Once I knew it was normal I was good to go.
Current Connected order placed. 24v MPII 3k, Bluetooth dongle, and USB programming cord ordered.
With the price drop this year on the MP, the extra plugs in was free and I still saved a couple $ waiting.
Now Victron will prob oil a Tesla and drop prices again, lol
Now the waiting game.

Thanks, I ended up going a different route than the blue seas switch as I realized its not rated for 58V, went with a midnite 250A 125V breaker, MNEDC250.He also sells the following to assist in the install of the Victron Lynx Adapters

Yeah, for some reason AltE has best prices on Midnite stuff that I've seen. I just ordered a bunch of their surge protectors for only $84 (for 3 or more) each which is even cheaper then what signature solar sells them for.It’s amazing the price rang differs shops get for Midnight gear, I’ve seen 120 or 77 for the unit.

I went overkill with 6 AWG from windy nation, thru Amazon. Biggest that will fit in the 150/35. Random 10 on the left for the PV temporarily. The 10 was working fine at 35A as well but I'm going to connect these to a power in
