If one wants to twice lift a 46 lb. 2000i generator, needs 3200 watts of continuous high power at times, and can afford them ... then so be it.
If one only needs 1600-1800 watts of continuous high power at times, and can afford them ... then the reasoning behind my post earlier was that, IMHO, two 1000i generators make a bit more sense than a single 2000i generator. The main reason being elimination of the man-handling of the weight of a single 2000i. I'm a 6'2" 220 lb. camper and what I do know is I don't care very much for lifting - vertically and then maybe reaching out to move horizontally - my 51 lb. all steel Honda portable. I'd much prefer to do that kind of stuff with a 29 lb. steel/plastic Honda EU1000i, instead.
P.S. I'd sure like to see an example of two 1000i generators running a 13.5K air conditioner when a single 2000i wouldn't. Then again, maybe that's never going to happen. :h
