Hi mena,
Why would you go with the 3000 watt vs the 2800? It will cost me $300 more...... That's expensive for a 200 watt difference.
Here is a review of the 3012: Magnum 3012 review
Its not just a 200 watt difference.
Comparison wise, the MS2812 vs MSH3012 is oranges vs tangerines (maybe?)
The 3012 is new software and new topology in the inner workings. Yes, the wattage is roughly the same. Unlike the 2800, the 3000 unit can help your small generator (or large solar array) run a large load like a roof top AC unit. If that feature doesn't sound useful, then the extra wattage alone is perhaps not worth the $300 extra dollars.
