USB-C Multi-Device Charger Recommendations? (lemmus.org)

I've been playing around with my home office setup. I have multiple laptops to manage (thanks work) and a handful of personal devices. I would love to stop playing the "does this charging brick put out enough juice for this device" game.

I have:

1x 100W Laptop
1x 60W Laptop
1x 30W Router
1x 30W Phone
2x raspberry pis

I've been looking at multi-device bricks like this UGREEN Nexode 300W but hoped someone might know of a similar product for less than $170.

Saving a list of products that are in the ballpark below, in case they help others. Unfortunately they just miss the mark for my use case.

Shargeek S140: $80, >100W peak delivery for one device, but drops below that as soon as a second device is plugged in.
200W Omega: at $140 it's a little steep. Plus it doesn't have enough ports for me. For these reasons, I'm out.
Anker Prime 200W: at $80 this seems like a winner, but ~~they don't show what happens to the 100W outputs when you plug in a third (or sixth) device. Question pending with their support dept.~~ it can't hit 100W on any port with 6 devices plugged in.
Anker Prime 250W: thanks FutileRecipe for the recommendation! This hits all of the marks and comes in around $140 after a discount. Might be worth the coin.

If you've read this far, thanks for caring! You're why this corner of the internet is so fun. I hope you have a wonderful day.

The link seems to immediately redirect me to https://ca.ugreen.com/ Maybe they configured their region settings in a weird way.

Would you have a screenshot of the product maybe? :)

I know some power bars have USB-C on them, would you need to charge all 6 devices at once or only one at a time?

Well that's odd!
