While I agree with everything you say about their web pages, their
product looks good, if not cheap.

If all you want is a UPS with clean shutdown if the power doesn't return
within 20-30 mins, 300mAh is fine. But they also offer the same board
with a 3000 mAh external battery for either extended UPS or for portable
use of the RPi, i.e around 5 hours plus or minus a few hours: this looks
reasonable to me.
