These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The JBL Partybox 1000 ranks #4 of 13 large party speakers by sound quality at $1,099.95; the JBL Partybox Club 120 ranks #6 of 53 party speakers by sound quality at $399.95.
Different sizes. The PartyBox 1000 is a 75 lbs (34 kg) large party speaker with 1100W and no battery. The Club 120 is a 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg) battery party speaker. Each is rated within its own class.
The PartyBox 1000 is right up there with the PartyBox Ultimate, with a 12 inch woofer, a horn tweeter and a waterfall light show. It has no battery and no app.
The Club 120 is quite neutral with a removable battery, a claimed 12 hours, IPX4, Auracast, a 5-band app EQ and mic and guitar inputs.
Buy the JBL Partybox 1000 at $1,099.95 for a large party speaker, or the JBL Partybox Club 120 at $399.95 for a party speaker instead.
If water resistance matters to you, the JBL Partybox Club 120 at IPX4 (splashing) holds up far better than the JBL Partybox 1000 at no water resistance.
