I just called for pricing. If you want to run an inverter or any large load,
you really need the XP series as it can take a 150 amp draw. The RP is
limited to 30. The direct, factory to you price  for the U27-12XP is $2,550,
plus shipping. Yes, that was the price for ONE! No I did not accidentally
replace the decimal with a comma. Yup, 2  extra large. I almost fell off the
chair. Anyway, lets see if I buy GC-2's in bulk, I bet I can 13 or 14 pair.
Well too heavy and too much room. The little Honda generator is looking real
good now!
