they both are reading 700w on the website.

the only thing they are showing differnt is the herp1 has stuff checked off in green where the basic is yellow. the one also has a built in power safty relay where the basic does not. i will be pluging into a power board so i shouldnt be too concerned about that and i rarly have power failures where i live.
