Now in terms of efficiency, Is the Honda series really worth the extra $$$ compared to other portable inverters like the Champion 3200 or Predator series? I see a lot of them that are very competitively prices and Honda is near double most of them.
And for the most part i will indeed have power but at some camp grounds and small events I will not have power. I could always just drop one of the PRX 818s while mobile if a inverter generator is a bad idea.
As for insurance, that is my next step coming up but I wanted to have all my equipment first.

It's not theft insurance on your equipment, it's liability insurance to protect the venue.

Yamaha makes a similar genny for a bit less.
Super quiet.

Thanks i was really looking into the Champion 3400 watt inverter generator. Its under 1000 dollars and from all the reviews i read it works great. Any objections on Champion vs Yamaha/Honda?

It is much nosier, constructed cheaper and the outputs get noisy as you approach full load. Extra caution for non-PFC devices connected to it.
There were some tests done on the Champion over in RV Forum that had scope traces of the inverter line noise.
