I think it's a good deal for a feature rich and powerful power bank. If I didn't already order 737, I would jump on this.
Here's a review I found interesting from someone who owns both, they also posted pics comparing two side by side, this one is a tiny bit bigger than 737:

Please know that this power bank is 99.54Wh, which meets the requirements of the TSA(<100Wh) to be taken on airplanes as carry-on baggage.

100 watt hours (Wh) is max. this battery is 99 Wh
As stated in the user manual as well as long as it's under 100 Wh. Can you show a source stating the capacity matters over this?

"Please know that this power bank is 99.54Wh, which meets the requirements of the TSA(<100Wh) to be taken on airplanes as carry-on baggage."
And it's been tested because I've used it in at least 6 flights for the steam deck

"I've been using the original Anker 737 Power Bank for about seven months now and have come to really enjoy it. It charges (and recharges) amazingly fast, and does both at the same time thanks to its support of pass-through charging. When I saw the bigger, more feature packed Anker Prime 27k release, it was clearly the successor to their flagship 737 bank, so I tried it asap. Worth the upgrade?Size and capacity wise, things are about the same. There's a slightly bigger screen (which still auto-rotates) and it's still heavy. Both chargers have the same port counts which are capable of almost identical charging output. You can buy a new wireless charging dock for the new version, which is super convenient, but then you're not taking advantage of one of the coolest features of this new charger (being able to recharge the unit itself with two USB-C cables at once).One of the things I really disliked about the 737 was that only one of the USB-C recharges the unit. Not a deal breaker, but the ink is black and so is the plastic, so trying to see which port I needed to plug a cable into to charge the 737 was a guessing game unless it was a well lit environment. The Anker Prime 27k solves that problem by allowing both USB-C ports to recharge the device.The phone app is also a neat upgrade. You can schedule when you want your power bank to be fully charged (think optimized charging on the iPhone). You can also schedule when you want devices connected to the Prime 27k to be charged, so that they aren't going to sit at 100% overnight, but rather schedule them to charge fully, say, right before you leave home. This is a neat add on. I will say the addition of Bluetooth to remotely check battery status is also nice, but the feature I see myself using most is the built in "find me" style locator. Not that I loose things often, but just knowing where to look straight away is a time saver. Whether the kids took my charger, I left it in my work bag, or maybe it's still in the camper or in my gym bag, it's just nice being able to ping for it and find it fast. The speaker is about as loud as an AirTag or Tile and is controlled via the phone app.All that said, it's a new offering from Anker, and the full retail price reflects that. If I didn't have the Anker 737 already (which is often on sale for under $100), then I would probably feel better about spending the money for the Prime 27k. For someone looking for a feature rich battery bank, this is a clear winner. For those thinking about upgrading from the 737 or similar size power bank, I would say wait until it goes on sale (or sell your 737 to recoup some of the cost of your upgrade). To the best of my knowledge, this model is the only one in the new line-up that supports pass-thru charging, which is something I can't live without anymore. And being able to use both USB-C ports to charge the bank together like a bonded pair of power cables is great. Makes short order of recharging 27k of battery in this very polished package. Thank you"

The biggest issue I heard is the power meter is unreliable. I think he said the power bank continues to charge at FULL charging rate 20-45 minutes AFTER the meter reaches 100%. Without separate independent measuring tools, one's only guide to when the power bank is completely charged is the meter in the display. If the power bank isn't fully charged and you stop charging it because the display reads 100%, you're going to not have a full battery and miss out on capacity.
I don't really travel or not have readily available AC power so I'm tempted to buy it just because it has the big, cool display and the Bluetooth connection with the phone app. Somehow I'll resist. These features which are now solely on Anker's most expensive power bank, this one, will eventually trickle down and become standard and more affordable.
