I have a honeywell 2000 that I've run for a couple years now.... the first start of the day is hard, but after that it's fine.
I've had it next to husafreaks honda and it's mine is louder but not crazy loud. I run my PL8 at 40 amps and it does just fine... in fact I've run two small chargers at 5 amps each while 40 on the PL8 and it did fine... it was running full bore but did the job.
I'm cheap so it's been a good buy for me.... if it dies I will find a honda or yamaha
