LOL... I already showed you some facts. As usual, your blindness to the yellow won't let you acknowledge them
1 dbas. not opinion, but fact.
2 fuel tank. not opinion, but fact.
3 resale. easily checked out on ebay, etc. Used Hondas go for good money and sell quickly.
I have done this myself, and have personal experience. When I put a very used EU2000 up for sale last year. I asked 350.00.and people were racing to give me the money.... Word of mouth sold it, no need to advertising needed. I then added a little over 500.00 to it and got a brand new one. You will NEVER get anyone to pay decent money for a champion that was as well used as that Honda. Probably have to give it away.
4 Which leads me to another point that is common in these internet discussions. The proponents of what ever in is they like quote the very best price available for their choice, but not for the competitions... Shame, shame.
You guys need to shop a little harder, deals on Hondas are out there, just as they are for champions.
5 We had a champion in camp for several years, it was bought in a pinch away from home. It served us well for quite awhile, and we still have it. It doesn't get much use anymore, as a Honda replaced it... So having a choice readily available to us.... We use the Honda. It simply is in a different class. Kind of like comparing a chevy to a Mercedes.... They both have 4 tires and a steering wheel. but the mercedes is in a different class.
