It has been suggested that our older Onan 8 kw genset may perform better if we change from the old transformer regulation to a solid state AVR. Searching the web,I can find them from $23.28 on EBay to a thousand pounds in the UK.
It is down to nitty gritty time and I can't find a single reason to purchase one more expensive than the cheapest one. All the pictures except the most expensive two are identical, and the performance data on all are identical.
Can anyone suggest why I shouldn't just go with several of the cheapest ones (a few back ups)? One place on Amazon ($53.90) offers a one year warranty on theirs, but that seems relatively pointless if I store one and first one lasts more than a year.

Any input would be appreciated, thanks
