This is your leisure time we're talking about. If you enjoy tinkering with orphan off-brand generators while you're nowhere near help, and enjoy improvising when your generator lets you down, then an off brand might be for you.
God forbid you're full-timing or spending several weeks or months where you are depending on your generator for power.
It may well be worth saving up to buy the "gold standard" of portable generators if only for peace of mind.
15-20yrs ago, your digs at "orphans" had a claim. Now, it's no longer the case.
