FWIW, the CPE 2kw inv showed up in the 2011 Cabelas spring master catalog but doesn't show up online yet even if I search the part number (CB-52-3966-001). Priced at 699.99 and 99.99 for the parallel kit.
you can get a used Honda 2000 for that much money. i got mine off of Craig's List for that and it only had 25 hours on it.
for only a couple of hundred more, you can get a brand new Honda 2000 shipped.
i'm sure the new Champion 2000 is a good product but it's going to have to be a dramatic price difference from the Honda to go for one.
That seems like the most common comment when somebody posts the MSRP price of the Champion 2k. They don't compare it to the retail price of a Honda.
Has anyone actually paid $699 for their Champion 2k? Mine was $499 and it seems like that is the most common price paid. Soon many will be getting in on the $399 deal too. I bet many folks don't pay retail price for the Honda either. Why not compare MSRP to MSRP or best available price to best available price? Why do I see so many compare the MSRP of the Champ to the used price of a Honda?
I consider that to be a dramatic price difference from the Honda. Evan a used Honda without warranty seems dramatically higher than a new Champion with warranty.
