New Honda EU2200i
This was news to me, figured I'd post it on the chance someone is thinking of getting a 2000. http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=10086-en

Also, just thinking outloud .... I wonder if an EU2000i with the Easy Start kit powering an RV air conditioner will use less gas, overall, than a bigger generator will without the kit?
The bigger generator still has to expend gas energy to overcome the A/C compressor's startup load with each cycle, whereas a smaller generator with the kit has to overcome a much smaller momentary startup energy demand with each A/C run cycle.
Air conditioner run time per gallon will be optimum when using no larger generator than necessary to power it. The Easy Start kit is not smoke and mirrors, it just plain makes use of good engineering to provide a more efficient way to get the job done.
Many of you may be like me - the worst part of using a portable RV generator is having to refuel it any more often than absolutely necessary.
I should probably even install the kit on our RV's air conditioner to reduce gas consumption of our built-in 4KW Onan generator while it's powering the A/C. :C
