AFAIK neither one can be run at 14.8v at full rated amps with a Honda 2000. Needs a bigger gen. There is a 75 amp version of the PowerMax that can be run with a Honda 2000, and a PD9270 too, but for fast charging reduced gen time you want at least 100 amps on that big a battery bank. I use 155 amps on my 450AH bank. (one PM100 and one PM55 together with a Honda 3000)
