Equivalent to that of

Hello together,


Is this sentence correct?

"This state-of-the-art system achieves a durability equivalent to conventional systems."


Or had I better say?

"This state-of-the-art system achieves a durability equivalent to that of conventional systems."


Kind regards,

This state-of-the-art system achieves a durability equivalent to that of conventional systems.

You should include "that of".

"That" acts as a pro-form here, which has "durability" as its antecedent.

So we understand: ... a durability equivalent to the durability of conventional systems.
