From my research the only difference is the 30a outlet, so no worries.
OP here,
I did more digging on the Honda website and the companion only is to be used in parallel mode with a plain 2200. It just doesn't make sense to pay more and get less functionality to me. I would rather pay less and have two fully functional generators.
For those of you that have a 2200i how hard are they to start? I have disabilities that would make a hard pull to start out of the question.

not hard to start. and as for the running only in parallel mode, that contradicts the owners manual and other documentation. the companion runs just fine as a stand along generator. It's just easier to hook up for parallel operation than two honda 2200 regular units. you pay for convienience
