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

I would consider replacing my current EU2000 for the 2200 with slightly more power yet same weight and similar noise levels.
Just as a reminder, the new 2200 is quite a bit louder than the 2000 when each one is putting out into their maximum power ranges ... such as for powering RV air conditioners or other RV electrical items that one might want to run together at the same time.
Their maximum output noise levels are significantly different. The "dB" noise specification system is not directly proportional when comparing dB numbers to the actual sound intensity differences, so the higher dB rating of the 2200 at full power will sound quite a bit louder to human ears.
In my opinion Honda missed an outstanding engineering opportunity to impress - by not designing the 2200 to have the same high power range noise level or even better, a lower high power range noise level. :(
I don't think Honda is missing out on much of anything. Now they've got both. Still the best on the market hands down.
