Honda does have some new inverter/generator models that look very 
interesting - including a 7000 watt unit with electric start and a 
remote control panel called the EM-7000i with a list price of $4000.  

A building contractor I am working with recently bought a couple of 
these for his crews.  They are very pleased with the performance so far. 
The overall design of them is very nice and includes a digital meter 
system for RPM, Load, battery voltage and error codes.  

These use the air cooled single cylinder 13HP overhead valve engine - 
not the water cooled unit as on the 6500W models.  They still seem 
pretty quite even though they are air cooled.  This air cooled engine 
has in past been very good and inexpensive to rebuild.  

I am hoping to do some testing with these units this week - I know our 
OutBack inverter/chargers work well with the small (1-3kW) honda 
inverter/generators (although on some we have found the addition of a 
motor run capacitor improved the voltage stability when the FX's charger 
was working hard).  

These may be a good option for customer with grid-tie OutBack's as they 
should be more stable frequency-wise and might work therefore.  I will 
report back on the results of my testing when I complete it.
