Thanks, that makes sense in terms of what the message means, now I need
to do some reading on ECC to understand the differences between it and
RSA. Got any good references for beginner level docs?

The effective strength of ECC keys is roughly half of their size, so a
linear relationship, unlike RSA, DSA, DH, El-Gamal, etc.

Take a look at the bottom of page 64 of NIST SP 800-57 Part 1, Rev 3:
