I don't have a idea about this second transformer mount on the other side.
Maybe it's for some future modifications...
In user manual says: Output power 2 x 10 watts RMS, and I believe this is true.
Dimensions: W - 67 cm, H- 27 cm, D 17 cm, maybe the same size as a Sharp 575.
I didn't feel any vibrations or moving parts.

It was probably cheaper to design one side and mirror it for the other, and call it a day
I don't find such information yet.
All versions have a battery compartment for 8 batteries.
There is no mention of a built-in rechargeable battery.

I was noticing the plastic flywheel on the cassette mech. An easy modification would be to swap that with a metal flywheel. That would improve W/F issues dramatically for those of us who still enjoy our tapes
I like the look of it.

That's odd. They could have at least given it a cheap little 2,700 mAh battery like the GPO has. I doubt that would have been much more expensive than a transformer.
I will use it mostly at home, so for me the option with a transformer is better.
But as we commented, it is possible to build in a rechargeable battery,
which can also be charged by this transformer. So it can be used outside.

Must say, I do like the black and gold version, but they have no appeal to me.
Vintage gear made in Japan in the late 70’s/80’s compared to something cheaply made in China these days, no comparison. Ok, it may have all the modern connect ability, but it has no charm. I like the 70’s/80’s ones because they are solidly built with components that have stood the test of time. If any electronic components do fail, then they are usually easily replaceable, being through hole soldered components. Plus like any vintage gear, they have their quirks, the vintage electronics smell when you open them.
The Roxel is highly priced for a cheaply made Chinese item these days. Chinese made items like this are always let down by poor screen printing. Take the Roxel, the cheap looking font used for the treble, bass, tuning and volume knobs, why is the font so large? The same with the tuning dial area. It just makes it look cheap and Chinese.
But….. wonder if you could fit all the original 575 parts into one of these modern housings? My 575 has the usual broken tape door hinge pegs
