Everyone has a great opinion on this. I have owned two EU 2000i generators for over a decade each, and would not consider upgrading them until they finally wear out. Since they run like new now, that is out of the question for the time-being.
If the generator would put out enough power to spin up my 15,000 BTU AC at higher altitudes (6000 ft)then run it, I would answer more power. Somehow I doubt that would be enough at 2200. Perhaps 2400 would, but I don't know that answer.
My feeling is this. Going to a 2200 is not enough of an increase to warrant a change. It would just be a sales ploy, and the 2000 will run everything already except my AC. My other concern with going to either a 2200, or even a 2400, would be how it would affect weight and durability. Also, I suspect that if it couldn't run my AC alone it would also not be able to run in parallel with one of my existing EU2000i generators, forcing me to buy two more expensive and probably heavier generators to do what my current ones already do well.
A long way around saying; without finding a safe and reliable way to solve those issues the only reasonable answer is to make it quieter, without power loss and make a retrofit kit to make our current generators quieter also. Also, quieter at high speed would be cool too.
