A whole-home unit or a carryable 2 kWh one. The Explorer 2000 v2 is the cheaper energy, 38% less per watt-hour at the makers' prices, and is 74 lb lighter. The DELTA Pro 3 holds 2,054 Wh more, gives 1,800 W more continuous output and takes 2,600 W of solar against 400 W: buy it for that, and the Explorer 2000 v2 for the money.

Field by field
Compare the differences that matter for your devices; EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 leads on 6, Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 on 3, and the rest are equal or not comparable.
Cycle counts are highlighted only when both makers rate them to the same remaining capacity. A full recharge is not ranked against a charge to 80%. Missing figures never count as an advantage. These are manufacturer ratings; matching endpoints do not prove identical test conditions.
Rated cycles: DELTA Pro 3, 4,000 to 80%; Explorer 2000 v2, 4,000 to 70%.
Estimated AC energy = rated Wh × 0.85. Runtime = estimated AC energy ÷ load W, with no reserve. Capacity and weight differences use the displayed figures; price per Wh uses each model's own price record and date. Device-load inputs are in the sizing calculator.
Capacity: Explorer 2000 v2 minus DELTA Pro 3 = -2,054 Wh (-50.1% of the DELTA Pro 3 figure).
Carry weight: Explorer 2000 v2 minus DELTA Pro 3 = -74 lb (-65.2% of the DELTA Pro 3 figure).
Price per Wh: Explorer 2000 v2 minus DELTA Pro 3 = -0.26 USD/Wh (-38.1% of the DELTA Pro 3 figure).

Which is better for power outages, the DELTA Pro 3 or the Explorer 2000 v2?
EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 states a 10 ms switchover, so it can sit between the wall and a fridge, router or CPAP and take over when the power cuts; Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 states 20 ms. EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 holds more (4,096 against 2,042). Check your appliance's start-up watts against the surge figures in the table.
Which is cheaper per watt-hour?
Explorer 2000 v2 at $0.42 per Wh against $0.68. This compares purchase price with rated capacity, not lifetime delivered energy.
Can either run a window air conditioner?
A small window unit draws 500 to 1,000 W running and several times that for an instant at start; check the surge figure in the table against the air conditioner's label. Either way an afternoon of it empties a 1 kWh unit; the RV page works the rooftop version.
