Exactly.
When I was going to run a smaller PSW for the TV/sat, phones and computer, it would have been the Moningstar 300w fanless inverter. For little more than it cost plus the wiring, fusing, etc. You can have a solar system that will make the difference of draw at idle between a big and little inverter look like peanuts.
Conservation and efficiency has to be balanced with cost and effectiveness. I have two incandescent bulbs in bunks that even as cheap as the ebay LEDs, it's not worth converting them because they are used so little that the power savings wouldn't be worth notice. On the other hand finding the lowest draw window A/C. coffee pot, hair dryer , etc, save us more power in a day than those bunk lights or even the difference in draw between two inverters at idle would use all year.
Now in a cost savings concept, it would have been cheaper to use the smaller PSW inverter had I needed it for the small things along with the Tripp-lite to run the little A/c than buy a big enough PSW inverter that could handle the A/C.
