Balcony system suggestions please…

After a lot of research and recommendations including reviews from the good folks on this forum, I've decided to dip my toe into the murky waters of self sustainability, and drop a few quid on the Ecoflow Stream Ultra X. Only to find frustratingly the darned thing is now out of stock, probably because potential buyers like me have been spooked by the Iran crisis and inevitable future electricity unit price increases. Am I on the right track with the following alternative, assuming they are still available - 1 x Stream Ultra, paired with an AC @ 1,9020w getting close to doing the same job? I have a couple of 450w panels, my main requirement is to cover the small daytime base load of around 150-400w and hopefully have enough residual power to top up the Ultra and AC. No EV. Yet. Brain fog after looking at so many stats, I just need to know if the above is the best route or is there a better compromise. I should add I really don’t want to incur cost of Shelly units and other monitors that require the skills of an electrician. I’m hoping with the help of my reasonably sunny location (Southampton) will provide the likely legal 800w and come up to expectation? Thanks in advance for any input
