I have two Instant Pots. From what I understand from the Facebook page "Instant Pot Communuty" one advantage is the stainless steel inner pot. It really turns out to be nonstick if you brown your meal first and deglaze which you have to do anyway. I can't speak to anything else. I love mine. There are other threads relating to electric pressure cookers. Some folks are sticking with stovetop. Have you used yours and do you like it?
