Professor95-
I (I assume a lot of interested persons are) have been lurking for quite a while on this topic, and would like to thank you and all of the others for the diligence, research and information sharing that has turned this into a 220 page thread.
That said, I (based on reading here) purchased the Champion C46540 last week through PartsAmerica.com and it arrived UPS yesterday. You couldn't wipe the grin off of my face as I peeled out of the parking lot to go play with the new toy...er tool. This thing started quite easily - my 12 year old can get it running on the 2nd pull. It is quieter than a lawn mower, and you can talk over it at 7 meters. (this info may be repeat - no flames please - first time posting).
I will test with the RV this weekend. I have a 13.5 BTU AC, but no microwave. I did run my 13 amp miter saw which caused the jennie to belch for a second. Shop vac ran fine. I am getting ready to put other loads on as well...
In terms of fit an finish, the unit came very well packaged with quality materials. The paint is flawless and had a solid feel to the controls. The owners manual is a little thin, but does provide break out diagrams with part reordering info, which is a relief. I am trying to break in gently until the 5 hour oil change. The real test of its mettle will be over the 4th of July holiday with 4 days of boondocking.
Thanks again to all who provided input.
