Hi Ron,
I have the older version of this monitor (bought in 2016). It gives only "state of charge" (as a percentage) of one bank, and voltage only of that bank and a second bank. The model you are talking about is an improvement on my model.
I am very happy with my monitor and it actually "learns" your battery. It gets more accurate the more it is used.
I would highly recommend the unit you are contemplating. Knowing (accurately) your state of charge will allow much improved "treatment" of your batteries, and should result in longer battery life.
Hope that helps,
Tom
