Most? :h Certainly not here in Canada where the Honda EU2000i vastly outsells the Yamaha EF2000iS. Try to buy a lightly used EU2000i and it's virtually a race to be the first in line but a used EF2000iS will often take months to sell. I've been there, done that myself twice, lost out on quite a few EU2000i deals before managing the be the first in line for the two I eventually did buy. The EU2000i may not have a separate fuel shut off but it does have a much larger engine and far superior surge capability than the EF2000iS. The EU2000i also is not subject to the Progressive Industries Disclaimer which denies warranty coverage on any of their EMS products if used with an EF2000iS which under some circumstances can output a non-sinusoidal waveform, thus destroying a PI EMS unit.
As for draining the carb or running it dry I no longer bother, instead run SeaFoam treated ethanol free gas which can be purchased here in Canada as premium grade gas at any Shell or Esso station. That said, disabling the Honda EU2000i's ignition while leaving the master switch in the run position is as simple as unplugging the harness to the switch ... did that with my first EU2000i but don't even bother with my current one since I exercise it every few weeks anyway.
