Hi joe, I am far from expert however you are comparing two different beasts - one is a combined mppt solar charge controller AND dc:dc converter and the other (victron) is a standalone dc:dc converter only. All else equal, and if you don’t require solar at this point I’d go with the victron, of a size that works for you. (There are tradeoffs, discussed elsewhere in this thread) Victron has a good rep, a broad range of compatible hardware, and understand the marine market.
