If I do, I've been eyeing this one. I'll be keeping an eye on the price to see if it drops at all during the quiet season.

Those predators are pretty good.   I’ve got the 3500/3000 and 2000/1800. Both are inverters.  Super quiet.  Knowing someone with the Honda’s, he and I can’t see a difference between them.  Like, predator should probably be sued tbh.    I’m not not worried about having too much amps/watts.   The 3500 will run my entire travel trailer.   For outages, it’ll do more than enough to stay sane.   Obviously no ac, but you’d have to have a hella big one to do that as well.  Which is why I never really bothered with the bigger ones like what you are looking at.  How much of that are you really going to use with a fridge, lights, fans, tv/internet?   Heck, my 2000 did all that for Irma.  Plus it’s smaller and quiet.  So, something to think about before purchasing one.
