Verdict

Belkin Thunderbolt 4 Dock Pro

8 / 10 Expert Rating

The second true Thunderbolt 4 port and dual HDMI make this the flexible pick for multi-peripheral desks.

StarTech.com 2-Port Thunderbolt 4 Hub

5 / 10 Expert Rating

Does exactly one job, adding a second Thunderbolt port, and does it cheaply; not a dock replacement.
