At $365 vs. $227, it's a considerable bump for what is otherwise the same product, but if your intention is to crank this 24/7, it'll add up. If you're just taking the edge off a few weeks of highs that your central AC can't keep up with, that initial price matters a lot more. Obviously you can wait for a sale on the inverter model and narrow the gap a bit. It's also worth considering that if this isn't running 24/7, you could step down to the 8000BTU model and just have it run more hours. At $322, that cuts out 30% of the price gap.
A little math to give context:
8 hours/day x 60 days x $0.20/kWh = $88/yr vs. $64/yr. 5.7 year break even.
16 hours/day x 90 days x $.20/kWh = 264/yr vs. $192/yr. 1.9 year break even.
