The next most popular model is the Wgen7500DF which offers remote electric start, auto-start on mains power failure ( ST accessory required ) in addition more power. But it is twice the cost.
Those who do -not- need 240 volt operation or the raw power may be better off with an inverter generator with low THD. Other options are to connect a smart charger + battery bank and battery driven stand alone inverter for sensitive loads or to plug your sensitive devices in to a power conditioner.
Finally, traditional generators with brush-less copper-wound alternators which produce clean power and are commercial duty are available at a higher price such as from Winco and Lifan.
