Would the DeltaQ charger fit in the same space as the Calex one?

No, that is a home charger.

Totally different shape and to fit in the same space is unlikely.

The DeltaQ charger is kinda large for it's 1KW output. The OBC has more output (about 1.4KW) and I think is also smaller. I think the Calex is also lighter, but I never had one out so I cannot be sure.

The DeltaQ really was NOT designed for a motorcycle. It was designed for electric forklifts but reprogrammed for Zero motorcycles.

The Calex is heavier, and its w/kg ratio is slightly worse. With the skid plate removed you could mount a Delta in the same space (width is similar) but you'd lose some ground clearance, don't know if the mounting holes would line up though so might need some drilling. I'm going to assume in this scenario a dead Calex is being replaced as there'd be no reason to swap a working one with a Delta. For the new price it'd be worth it to pay the extra $200 or so for the stock charger.
