Hey 2000,
Congratulations on passing the NJ exam. I recently applied and am waiting for a response.

Anyway,

Last year I bought a used Coleman "Vantage" 4600 watt genny for $250.00 and although it looks beat, it starts on the first pull everytime and runs well.
Depending on load, it will run for 2 days on a full, 5 gallon tank.
It is a bit heavy, and although I can unload it by myself, I usually use ramps to load it on.
Tha advantage to a larger unit, especially doing new residential construction in this region, is that as evening approaches, I use temporary lighting strings.
The convenience of being able to have 10-20 lights hung in the work area is well worth it to me.
