My point is (and has always been) that until the Champion's are out a few more years and we are pretty sure they will still be in business, they are not really a proven product. My only reason for buying one would be to save a lot of money. If I'm going to save only a little money, I may as well buy Honda or Yamaha and know what to expect.
I agree with your logic. I think the Champion open frame gens have pretty well proven their worth, but the inverter adds a new level of complexity. However, it might turn out to be enough less expensive to warrant buying it and taking the chance (if I were buying a generator, which I'm not). In general, I think competition is healthy and I hope the new entry into the inverter generator field will prove to be good for consumers.
