No 220-240VAC 50/60hz on the Mjolnir is immensely disappointing.

Absolutely nothing special over any APC or CyberPower UPS.

I'll keep eyeing HP and APC 'server' IEC-based units, Instead...

No need to worry. The competition has a lot more experience and product offerings in this arena. Tripplite makes a fantastic unit in just about every voltage, capacity, and frequency you might ever need. On the budget side of things, Cyberpower isn't a bad choice. Just make sure what ever UPS you buy that its a pure sine wave model.

I'm just wondering, why would a NA plug UPS need 220-240VAC 50/60Hz?
It's not like you can carry that on an airplane and take it overseas, right?

This is most likely needed for high wattage cases. Commonly these UPS units can output 120v 20a. And a lot, if not most modern power supplies can operate on a wide variety of voltages from 100-240v. I Know my older PC Power and Cooling TurboCool 1300w can operate on both 120 and 220-240.

Because, the US and Canada are 220-240VAC 60hz countries.
(Beyond the receptacle for an electric clothes dryer, any room with in-built heating typically can (easily) retrofit a 2-pole 220-240VAC receptacle.)

The 50hz addition, is just a nice plus to make it saleable worldwide.

The plug can also easily be fixed with a pair of wire cutters, a screw driver, and a Marinco or Hubbell replacement plug.
