Solar Power Conversion Unit comparison?

[ClassyGlobal]

I've read through a couple of threads on this topic.   Most members are Diehard DIYers.  I applaud your skills.  There are some members that prefer PACKAGED solutions.  I applaud your honesty.  There's something for everyone.

Do you mind chiming in your results from either of these systems below along with your pros/cons, likes/dislikes, limitations & what you'd do differently if you could do your system over?  Thanks!

Thanks very much for not calling these "solar generators".

I refer to them as powerpacks, these are larger ones but still not capable of running all the loads in most off-grid vans.

The small ones with similar functionality are marketed as "jumpstarter" powerpacks.

I have been referencing all the various threads discussing these units from here:

So that's a good place to start, work your way through those and then post more specific comments or questions here, there, wherever you think appropriate.
