I reached out to Victron Solar and a very helpful local (Philippine) representative got back to me. He recommended the EasySolar model. After looking at the spec sheet, I agree. It is an amazing piece of kit that fits my needs perfectly.  I expected a big price difference ( X1.5 or double), but it's 4 times as expensive as a replacement Axpert clone. 

Axpert clone: USD 1132              Victron Solar EasySolar 48V: USD 4245

WOW, big difference. Now, I have just spent USD 60 for shipping and another USD 10 for a part that in a normal market should cost less than 1USD, and when it gets here may not even fix my inverter. In hindsight, I would buy quality Victron in the beginning,  but right now I am living my learning curve. 

Best case, the varistor replacement gets me another couple of years or so. 

I think the lesson here is, the further from civilization you live, the greater the quality your equipment should be for long-term use.
