Have you been reading my mind? I've been searching on these gens for the past month or so also and came to about the same conclusions as you have. I just haven't stoped to actually buy one yet either. Yes I'd like to buy a honda, but 95% of my inteded use would be to run the trailer at races were gen noise is not an issue.
On a related 'clone' note. I purchased one of the cheap scooters off ebay a year ago. 50cc 4stroke, street legal. Suposedly had a yamaha clone motor in it from the info I could find. After taking delivery and giving the VIN to my insurance agent to get it insured, based on the VIN, it came back as a Yamaha. It's had a few issues, but nothing major that someone a little handy couldn't handle. I'd expect about the same from these cheap gens. You might have issues, they may take some tweaking, but for the price I can buy 3 of them instead of 1 honda. Then I have 1 running and 2 more for parts, that would last a while I'd think.
Someone on this site in a PM to me said the noise from the 3k unit was pretty close to the high dollar built in gensets.
(edit) just went back to the ELIM website and looked at the scooters, sure enuf the one I have is shown.
