Questions/Opinions on Generators
I'm looking at 2800/3000 watt generator/inverter......Yamaha, Honda, Champion Price is a concern. Honda $2300, Yamaha $1400, champion $900 I don't mind spending $1400 on the yamaha if the quality...

Where are you pricing a 2800 Yamaha at $1400? That is a great deal and I would jump on it.
Otherwise, I agree go with 2 x 2000. I have the Yamaha set up that way, mainly for my houseboat. The only reason I went with Yamaha was because I found a brand new used one that I got a great deal on. Bought the second one and parallel kit a couple years later.
Advantage on the Yamaha is that it has a fuel shut off so you can run the carb dry. Advantage of the Honda is that you can get an extended run kit.
Maybe I haven't seen the Champion that you are talking about, but I have never seen one that I would call a quiet generator.
