Looking at the Honda EU3000is ??

I am looking to upgrade my current 2500w Honda generator and go for the EU3000is. What is the difference between the Handi model and the EU3000 besides the electric start. If there is no other substantial difference I may opt for the lighter weight pull start model. My current contractor generator is pull start and has never given me a problem so I'm not sure the extra pounds for the electric start will be worth it.



Appreciate any imput from you generator guru's out there.



Thanks all and Merry Christmas
