We took it one step further. Myself and a friend each bought a Champion 2000 and he bought the parallel setup. Neither though we would need 2 generators but each thought that one light one would be necessary. He also has back problem and the 100# is a lot. If we thought that we would need both, then we borrow the other one. We have only used it minimal but sure is a nice unit. The Honda is awesome but for our needs, could not justify the cost.
