Phoenix Smart charger vs Blue Smart charger

I want to install a dedicated 12v charger on my boat. There are three battery banks, Bow Thruster, Service and start accu.


Can someone tell me what the difference is between the Phoenix Smart(3) and the Blue Smart(3), it look likes both can do the same, but it has a very different price.

Thanks

and it looks like the Phoenix charger also has remote control and other features that could be useful.

If you are charging LFP batteries, I advise against the Blue Smart chargers. The charging defaults for "Lithium Ion" aren't correct, if the charger loses power it can switch away from any custom configuration you create back to lead-acid settings, and you can't access it remotely to correct the fault.See my post here: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/221945/blue-smart-ip22-charger-lost-configuration.html?childToView=234920#answer-234920
