Multiplus 12V-3000VA vs 12V-2000VA differences (except the output power)

Hi all. Happy to find this forum as I begin my van conversion.

I've been peeping over this layout from exlorist.life. I'm planning on doing a similar set up, but a bit smaller:

Victron MultiPlus C 12/2000 / 80-30

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50

2 x 150Ah LiFePO4 batteries (max input 100A, max. output 150A) in

2 x 180W Solar in series (total ~44A VoC)

Now, I've been trying to get my head around the differences between these two Multiplus', but I'm still a bit unsure. So, could someone tell me does the 12V-3000VA have some other advantages over the 12V-2000VA than power output? Also, can I set up maximum charging current in the Multiplus 12V-3000VA so not to over charge my 100Ah capable batteries?

I'm happy to go with the 12V-2000, but my dealer has a good price on the 12V-3000 so I'm tempted.

Thanks in advance!

Well physical size!!

slightly more power consumption at idle

If it’s the 50amp transfer switch version you get more aux inputs and programmable relays.

Otherwise they are broadly the same.
