Anyone have experience w/ Lenovo Thinkstation P320 and Thinkserver TS150 (or similar)? (alien.top)

I'm currently running a P320 as my home server with a 1230 V6 CPU, but have been looking at upgrading to a 1245 V6 for transcoding with Intel QSV. Now I have the opportunity to buy a TS150 with a 1245 V6 for only a bit more than the CPU alone.

I was going to jump on this right away because I figured the ThinkSERVER must be better than my ThinkSTATION, but comparing specs they seem extremely similar to me.

Same chipset, similar size, similar PSU, both I think I could get 5 drives in, and both have AMT. Curious if I'm missing something here. Does anyone have any thoughts on if this would be an upgrade (other than the CPU of course) or are these 2 platforms really this similar?

For reference, I'm running Truenas Scale as a file server plus a handful of apps.
