Is it correct that the only difference between the Lynx Power and the Lynx Distributor is battery monitor PCB (which requires the Lynx Shunt?)? I already have the BMV-712 and don't feel monitoring the fuses to be that useful. Thank you.

Hi @happyday, welcome to the Community!
The Lynx Power-In is a busbar, while the Distributor is a combination busbar/fuse holder.

To add some extra detail. They use the same physical external housing, but the Power-In does not contain the nuts and bolts used to connect the MEGA fuses.
It is possible to add those bolts yourself (as there is space in the case moulding) if you still wish to use the Power-In with string fuses, but no PCB.
And yes, the PCB of the distributor requires an additional Lynx accessory such as the Lynx shunt to power it.
