I already have a Honda 2000is but I am wanting the best genset under $500 to take the load off the Honda and for a loaner to family and friends... So what's the best bang for the buck? Champion/...

It ain't Honda and usually takes 3 pulls to start.
I actively used it only once, when we had power outage at home and having about a cup of gas in it, run for over 2 hr powering modems and TV. It will run small microwave and Cappuccino machine, what is my goal. Noise is comparable to Honda although human hearing is lousy instrument, so it is hard to say. Still I had it working on my patio and noise did not bother me inside.
The cons so far are that when placed on its side - it will leak oil, but I guess all generators will do that.
