Go red ..can't say blue because my buddy has a blue Korean thing ..kipor maybe? HIs looks like a 2000 Honda suitcase model but that's where it ends.. It literally takes an hour to get it started. Something seriously wrong with that thing. And when it does start it's louder than the Honda.
Honda may be more $$ than the champion's and such but for me the extra $$ to save some decibel's is worth it.
And for genny's like most other things...you get what you pay for.

As far as running stuff.. the 2k works for me.
I can run everything I need other than the ac. If the batteries are down, I'll plug the coffee maker direct into the genny as it won't run the inverter and coffee maker at the same time. ( that's when I don't have time for the perculator )
I checked the amp's when the inverter is charging the batteries and it's up there.... can't remember but it's around 6A or more I think.
2K will run any RV microwave but that's if the fridge/ inverter aren't running.
