The UPS is designed to deliver 120 volts from batteries for perhaps five minutes max.. If you are running it at 50% or more it will quickly overheat. Also many UPS units are MSW though you specifically said the one you are looking at is TSW which is good.
The Prosine is designed to run anything up to its maximum rating all day, all night and as long as the 12 volt holds out.. It is also a true sine unit.
