The Champion 3100 watt model is a pull start with about half the size of a gas tank as the Yamaha. This means every four hours of A/C use, it will need to be refilled.
It is less than half the price of the 3000 watt Yamaha, so there are trade-offs.
Thinking about it, were I to buy a generator again, I'd probably skip the 3000 watt models and either go for a pair of paralled Honda eu2000s or a Yamaha 4500iSE which would more than easily handle the compressor inrush, even at high altitudes.
