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 — 7.80 × 4.80 m and 8.00 × 4.50 m respectively.

What the numbers say

ROE Visual CB5 MkII resolves finer: 30,044 pixels per square metre against 28,224 for YES TECH MG9 P5.9, 6% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 1,352 px across versus 1,344 px.
ROE Visual CB5 MkII is the lighter rig: 17 kg/m² against 24 kg/m². Across this wall that is 251 kg of difference — 799 kg versus 1,050 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
YES TECH MG9 P5.9 draws more: 700 W/m² against 667 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 25 kW versus 25.2 kW, and 12 versus 9 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on YES TECH MG9 P5.9: 2 runs against 3, at 24 and 73 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
Different cabinet formats: 600 × 1200 mm against 500 × 500 mm, so 52 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: 3.1 m for ROE Visual CB5 MkII against 5.8 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
