Called WiseSales and they said they just post what Honda lists.
Spoke to a guy there and he said I can expect 9-10 hours for a EU2000i running in eco-throttle mode. Same as the CPE 2000i so I'll likely get the CPE.
Wish Costco was running the same deal here as they are in Canada. Tried to buy it on their Canadian website for shipping to the US - no go.
Called Honda directly. They state the runtime for the EU2000i at 1/4 load with eco-throttle on is 9.6 hours, not 15. They insist it was never 15 hours.
So there is no fuel economy advantage to getting a Honda over this CPI 2000i if one goes by mfg stated specs.
There may be one more thing to consider. Honda Retail parts all over the US. With CPE, as far as I know, they have No Authorized Retail Parts anywhere in the US. Someone said years ago they would have Retail parts just like many other Chinese brands. Are they a Authorized Retailer in Calif. or elsewhere? Doesn't appear that way.
