Has anyone looked at the 1200 watt 42431 and notice that it comes with an "intelligauge" that measures volts, frequency and hours?
Sure would be handy to mount on my 46514 instead of having to find my kill-a-watt to verify everything is good to go. Anyone know if the gunge is available separately and if it could be mounted on a 3500 watt model?
There's also the question of "miles per gallon". I've been thinking about the amount of gasoline I keep on hand and wondering if it's enough if we have another major storm.
The 42431 claims to use 1.2 gallons over 10 hours at 50% load, while the 46514 uses 4 gallons. Will the 46514 get similar "mileage" if I only pull 600 watts? I know it won't be as good, but just how close would it be?
