Delta 2 has been popping up at $350 refurbished. If you need the UPS feature then the Delta 3 refurb has been <$500 recently. A R3P+EB600 on sale is still $500 and is physically the same size as the Delta units but worse in battery capacity and max output.
R3P Extra Battery also adds USB-C input charging convenience.
You make valid considerations, but also brand new vs Refurb pricing you mention isn't reasonable comparison. Of Course refurbs are less, but also Refurbs aren't for everyone.
River 3 Plus +EB is not same physical size, and considerably smaller and lighter than ANY delta (including Delta Mini long retired and discontinued)
River 3 Plus is also latest current model, all the latest app features, <10ms UPS and ultra-quiet. D2 is very loud and slower switch over.

Do you have everything connected to the R3P or do you use a UPS in front of the R3P?

Delta 3+ idle power consumption is about 35W.
So, a CPAP uses 30-60W, so lets go with 45W, and add 8W, so 53W/hr. 8hrs = 424W
Same math, but adding 35W = 640W
So, 1024 / 640 = 1.6 x 8 = 12.8, so lets say 13 hours running the CPAP.= on the Delt 3+
And 858 / 424 = 2 x 8 = 16, so 16 hours running the CPAP on the River 3+.
The River 3 @ $220 + the EB600 @ $320 = $520, slightly less than the $550 Wellbots sale price for the 3+.
So, costs slightly less, runs CPAP significantly longer.
Also the tall stacked shape fits better on my nightstand. Power flips off in the middle of the night, I keep sleeping.
The River 3 Max + combo will run my CPAP, plus charge my phone, my watch, and my cochlear for 3 nights. I've tested it. Hurricane season has already started.
Also, it has a light, the EB600 can be charges separately, and so on.
There's more to the decision than maximum capacity and maximum wattage.
I wouldn't use the River 3+ for my rotary hammer drill, but I do use it as a UPS for point of sale systems. About a dozen so far, we're waiting on a sale to order more. It's compact and fits under the counter nicely. The Delta 3+ is much too big.
And so on.
People always wanting MOoooo PPoooowwwaaahh remind of the guys with the YUUUGGEE trucks getting 16MPG picking up groceries and commuting solo to their office jobs. Meanwhile a lot of men that do actual work prefer smaller trucks, because you can more easily load and unload them when you don't need a ladder to reach into the beds.
Sure, there's definitely uses for bigger batteries, I own the Delta 3+ as well. Just as there's uses for big pickup trucks, like loading up several sheets of drywall instead of a few buckets of paint and a couple ladders. And big 18v drills and compact 12v drills. (I love my Surge.)
Fit the tool to the task.
