IMO a good deal for Honda having the bureaucracy force customers to pay $100+ for a GFCI outlet. I see the MSRP for the eu2000i is now 1149.95. That's an increase, isn't it?
Honda would love to keep selling the standard EU2000i in L.A. county, but the L.A. ETL (Electrical Testing Lab) requires generators sold in that area to pass certain testing that obligated the use of a GFCI circuit. Honda had to suspend sales of the EU2000i in L.A. county due to this rule change, but the EB2000i will pass the tests and can be sold there.

Caveat: I work for Honda, but the preceding is my opinion alone.
