Powershare: V2H supports powering your house from the car. Currently only the CyberTruck supports this, but other models will follow.

Power Management: Multiple wall connectors can dynamically load balance and share the capacity of a single breaker. This is great for multi-car households with limited panel capacity. If one car is connected, it can charge up to the max of 48A. If two are plugged in, they can split it 24A & 24A, or any combination totaling up to 48A.

The marginal added equipment cost is worth it IMHO for some future proofing and to avoid additional labor replacing another unit that doesn't support Powershare.

I'd also caution y'all to read the reviews. It sounds problematic while the regular has glowing review

It does take additional equipment for V2H battery backup. In addition to a a transfer switch, the EVSE (this Universal Wall Connector) must also support V2H. If you don't get it now, you'll have to replace the old EVSE costing $400+, and buy the UWC or one with similar functionality. You're paying $0-200 now to not have to replace it later. Most competitors EVSE in this class (48A) are in the $500-600 range already so it's not even a premium in many cases.
Plus you have compatibility with both J1772 and NACS cars.

And people that actually have 2 EVs know that it sucks to do 'power management'. It costs almost the same to connect them independently and have both charge at 48A instead of 24A. There's no point in that anymore

The benefit is dynamic load balancing. If only 1 car charges, it gets the full 48A. If both try to charge at max rate, it splits 24-24. However as 1 car reaches its top end on the charge curve and throttles back, it could split to 36-12 or any combination.
I have a 40a breaker and set it to 32a in the initial set up process. Works like a charm and no issues and shows in Tesla app. Not having to deal with the plug adapters is awesome and seamless .
If,you have just a Tesla don't get this , get regular one.
