Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile — 8.00 × 5.00 m and 8.00 × 4.50 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Sharp LED-Q028e2 resolves finer: 123,904 pixels per square metre against 112,896 for Chauvet Professional F2, 10% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 2,816 px across versus 2,688 px.
Chauvet Professional F2 is the lighter rig: 27 kg/m² against 34 kg/m². Across this wall that is 136 kg of difference — 1,288 kg versus 1,424 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Sharp LED-Q028e2 draws more: 720 W/m² against 666 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 26.6 kW versus 25.9 kW, and 10 versus 9 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Both come out at 16 data runs for this wall, though they carry 9 and 16 panels per port respectively.
Different cabinet formats: 500 × 1000 mm against 500 × 500 mm, so 80 tiles versus 144 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
Estimated truck space: 4.6 m for Chauvet Professional F2 against 6 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
