Ecosystem

75977 Titanic — The Endurance is taller and, together with the lifeboats, also wider than Titanic. Uses similar connection method (keel assembly, cross-axle attachment). Choice between them depends on available display space and budget.

10294 Titanic — The Endurance follows the same design approach as Titanic, released three years prior. Both are famous British ships that sank after being damaged by ice. Like Titanic, Endurance can be easily divided into three sections and uses Coupling Plate 2x2 in reddish brown and Technic axles to hold the sections together. Both are Icons-themed sets celebrating maritime history.

Exclusivity

RacingBrick: LEGO exclusive for the foreseeable future

Brickset Reviews: Wide retail (available at LEGO.com and other retailers at £229.99 / $269.99 / €269.99). The related GWP 40729 Shackleton's Lifeboat is available for a limited time with purchase of this set.

Resale

RacingBrick: Will get cheaper sometime next year like every LEGO set, but depends on availability and retailers.

Brickset Reviews: The set is expected to hold value well in the aftermarket due to its limited availability, large piece count, display-quality build, and collectible Icons theme status. Icons sets typically maintain or appreciate in value.
