You can only sell so many units based on reputation alone.
Way over priced. So are Yamaha's.
1) sound level significantly under 60 db while under FULL (100%) load
2) proven inrush performance, especially while powering a/c units
3) pricing 1/3 to 1/2 that of an equivalent Honda
. . . this could potentially spell the end of Honda's premium pricing by cutting into their core market. Once Honda's competitors become truly equal (or better) in terms of sound level and inrush performance, then it's just a matter of time before the lower pricing alone will eventually nullify Honda's reliability advantage.
Until the above happens, Honda will continue to demand and get premium pricing.
