Not at all.

Read 'man 8 usbhid-ups'. Both UPSes need to be uniquely identified  
through the regular expressions. The ones you specified are the same  
for both devices, so they are not unique. It will also tell you that  
the 'port' value will be ignored, so basically both entries are  
identical now.
