Gotta be light and quiet.

Yes...it's quiet....
I have a Yamaha 2800I to compare with...
This is worth every penny of $365

Gotta be light and quiet. Yamaha 2400ishc is the smallest, lightest that I could find that will start my ac and microwave. These are super cool because they only idle up as much as needed and DO NOT idle up when you start the microwave or ac. They idle up after a couple seconds. The big amp draw goes to a capacitor bank in the generator. I spent 34 days in my trailer and between my tw200 getting 21 miles on it every day and the generator running morning and nights to charge the batts, cook...etc, I used less than 10 gallons of gas.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Hmm
Got a link? I can’t find anything regarding that model having a capacitor bank. Seems like a great idea.

The bank smooths the load so much that is seems unnatural.

Gotta be light and quiet. Only time will tell how well they hold up, but I bought 2 of these about a year ago. They weigh about 50 lbs each and so far start on the 1st pull of the rope. One will run everything in my small travel trailer except the AC. I can't have anything else running with the microwave on. But 2 can be connected and they will run my AC. I'm thinking I only paid a little over $300 each so they have gone up. But at the time 2 of these were about 1/2 the cost of one Honda.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
