I just went through similar decisions about two months ago and decided on the powermax. Here's a link to my post.

My thoughts and reasons on why I went the way I did.
Before my Honda EU2000i would barely come above idle when charging the batteries in the morning. With my new Powermax the generator has to rev up quite a bit to provide the necessary power.
Here's a link to the converter/charger that I bought Link
For wiring I just cut the ends off an old set of battery jumper cables that I was about to trash and they are now mounted to the charger.
So far I have to say I'm very impressed and happy with my purchase.

My thoughts and reasons on why I went the way I did.
- I went with the Powermax because it was way cheaper than a PD
- The Powermax charges at 14.6/13.6/13.2
- It can manually be boosted to 16v for equalizing
- I went with portable to not mess with my current load center
- I also use it as a kick butt standalone battery charger in the garage when I'm not out camping
- I went 45 amps as one vendor said many people with 2000 watt generators are dissatisfaction with the 55amp and above chargers and want an exchange/refund
- And I'm serious when I say because Powermax was recommended by BFL13 and I respect his posts
