How would a PCE 1200VA 660W Max Series hold up compared to the MGE Eaton E-series NV1000H 1000 VA UPS w/Power Management USB port I had initially ?
And thank you for all your help guys, I really appreciate it.

1200VA = 780Watts
1000VA = 650Watts

Get a different 1200VA UPS since that PCE only gives 660W.
