Dry weight of the quiet Honda 3000 is 131 lbs. 57 dB(A) @ rated load, 50 dB(A) @ 1/4 load
Dry weight for the light Honda 3000 Handi is 78lbs. 58 dB(A) @ rated load, 52 dB(A) @ 1/4 load

Other way to present it is that at

No direct comparison available, while 7 dB difference is day to night how humans hear it.
Man, for sure. Small numbers, huge difference!!
