I agree , that fact took awhile to sink in but jeffmay finally got threw to me

Was hoping to use it in the coldest months of the year but I had it wrong !

Like you wrote Its the inlet vs outlet temps that ultimately determine the units net gain / loss.
Its scheduled to be here on Friday / tomorrow by the end of the day so soon I'll have its outlet temp to compare.
These portables are widely know to be crappy performing AC's, from consumer reports to everyone in between. ( beside anecdotal evidence from people who find they worked for them )
I have not found anything about its heating performance its likely the same as its cooling maybe its slightly better who knows until you try.
If it works as in heats up the house it could be same as the wattage it consumes and I would never know.

As it is I can run a ceramic heater downstairs on 500w and it heats the upstairs on most days. The unit runs on 1200w so it might look good to me but have no real savings.
I can though compare the past 10 years of hydro data to its energy consumption. if it changes little that means there no net gain for me.

The inlet / outlet temps will show me whats possible with the unit anyways and whats not.
