However, that's still quite a difference in Wh compared to the Ecoflow.
I think this product is mainly aimed at AVR racks since it's a short depth unit (<12 inches). It does include the APC network management card, which are historically pretty expensive add-ons.

I even tried a dedicated Amazon staffed return/pickup center (not a locker or Whole Foods)

None of the portable power stations provide any type of voltage regulation. So no voltage spike/sag protection.
Only one Ecoflow unit and GoldenMate offers any type of 2 way communication to support graceful shutdowns and monitoring. The EcoFlow has very limited UPS support. They have not added any new support in over a year. The GoldenMate sends false power outage alerts every few minutes. Their solution is to just disable monitoring and 2 way communication.
If all you want is to power devices in the event of a power outage, a portable power station is definitely the better option. If you want/need either of the two things I mentioned, stick to a real UPS.
Another option which I use, is a hybrid system. I run both. My devices connect to the UPS to provide clean power and graceful shutdown.The UPS is then connected to a portable power station for extended runtimes. The caveat is that UPSes (I've tested APC/CyberPower and Vertiv) will have a ground fault alarm when used with Anker (C100, C1000, C1000 Gen2, C2000, Powerhouse 767) and EcoFlow (Delta 3 Plus) due to how they implement their internal grounding system. This issue is not present in any of my Bluetti units (AC180, Elite 100v2, Elite 200v2, Elite 300v2, AC300, AC500).
