The blurb talks about watts, but the old one used VA, which is better for figuring what it can do. Assuming the new watts is VA then this one will do 1800VA instead of 1600, which is better. No way to know if it can run whatever you have without knowing the PF of your appliance and its rated input watts.
I'd bet that the new spec's are indeed VA not watts.
But as I and someone else mentioned, the extra 200VA may take it from "almost adequate" to "barely adequate" for some applications.
My 2000 will easily start my coleman Mach III with the micro air easy start at even 4500ft elevation at 90F. But it will only run for about 10 minutes before it overloads. I'll be the extra 200 VA would get me over the "hump". and mean I don't need to parallel at higher altitudes.
But then I already have 2 hondas, why get another?
