What are people's opinions/experiences. Power station or dual battery. The dual battery for my Diesel will be $1300 or I can get a ecoflow delta 2 with more amp hrs for $850

I have the dual battery and considered the power station.
I think it really comes down to the price and what you are looking to run/connect and the trim you have.

Have all my aux lights and soon will be running a small fridge. I do have a 2 door so space was a factor.
Went with the Genesis set up and SUPER happy with it. Not a day goes by where I feel like I regretted the purchase.
I also went a little overkill with the volt meters haha; added the G-screen from Genesis which I have set to see the AUX batter voltage and also added a charge port that also has a volt meter which shows the main battery(bought it in red and matches the locker switches almost perfectly).

Also, another benefit from the G-screen is that I am able to jump start myself from inside the cabin should my crank/main battery die.

You can't go wrong with either set up.

I've got a gz 1500x that I'm happy with. Having the built in inverter has come in handy more than I thought it would and it fits nicely in the rear footwell under my doggie deck.

Depends on your needs/usage.

I camp out of my Jeep and truck. I don’t want to spend $$ for a dual battery set up for both. So got a jackery 1000 that works great with a solar panel. I can move it from one rig to another.

FYI, the same AH LiFePO4 will give you significantly more usable power as you can reliably discharge it a lot further. Conservatively 60% more, but can go double if you fully discharge.

With the Odyssey group 25 at like 60 AH, you'll have 30-60% more power with a 50 AH (640 WH) power station. Plus you get on board inversion and DC-DC charging.
