Is the 3500 significantly quieter than the 2000 model?
Can't speak on the 2000 noise level as I've never seen one in use. The HF site claims the 2000 has a 65db noise level and the 3500 has a 57db noise level. I don't know at what distance they measured but I did measure my 3500 noise level at 25' and it was under 57db at load (A/C was on) and quieter than my neighbors Honda 3000 at the same distance.
Weight of the 2000 is listed as 47# (empty). 3500 listed at 99.2# (empty). Mine with fuel and oil weighs 117#.
