This is a good travel router in it's own right for sub $50, but it might be limited compared to the other one depending on your use case.
The feature set on this is pretty similar to the$35 Opal model [amazon.com], but it doesn't look like the Opal is OpenWRT compatible for whatever reason. There's supposedly still firmware support on the Opal until May 2026, so that may be an option to anyone that doesn't need/care about cutting-edge firmware support; or just want something to use in the meantime before jumping to a Wifi6/AX model. Other than the MicroSD card slot and USB 3.0 port, I don't see a whole lot of hardware differences between the Opal and (non-AX) Beryl.

That said, VPN throughout isn't the greatest (up to ~90mbps via wireguard, and only about 20mbps via OpenVPN), which is where the Beryl AX shines (300 / 150 mbps by comparison).
I got my MT1300 yesterday, fired it up to see that it uses about 2-3W 'idle', but I plan on flashing it with OpenWRT so I haven't gotten it fully set up just yet. I'm probably going to keep an eye out for a deal on the Beryl AX - these are pretty nice little units.
I mentioned it before, but I really wish these existed back in the days I was doing tech setup @ conventions! Multi-WAN failover & load balancing is pretty awesome for stuff like that.
