   Don't know about that... but one reason I'm leaning   
   to the Yamaha products is some of their inverter units   
   use the "starting battery" (for those that have electric   
   start, of course) to provide some additional capacity   
   to handle the starting-draw current.   
      
   afaik they're the only ones. I'd love to hear about others...
