I own both the EU1000 and the EU2000. The 2000 is great for the house and has adequate power for a lot of things (such as a small room AC unit). But it is significantly heavier too. And as I like to put my generator up in my Westy's luggage rack when traveling, that extra weight is very significant when it comes to hauling it out, or putting it back up.
