Sounds like you already know the options.
You point out the very infrequent use so high investment for minimal usage is rather a bit of a waste. I would suggest sataying at 2000 watts for the reason you mentioned, plus the 1000, if your batteries are very low could be taxed if your converter is very large.
The 2000 inverter also becomes a nice fallback option at home during power failures or other events.
If longer term reliability is a worry for you, either spend the extra $500 on the purchase, or with HD, or Harbor Freight buy an extended warranty and pocket the difference.
