If you need to purchase today and can get by with 1700 running watts then buying this deal on the Champion is a good value. If you can wait then there is a good chance that the igen2500 $400 deal will return because there is a new model ige2500(c) with a CO sensor. Government is pushing to require CO. I don't agree and don't want the hassle of shutdowns and not starting due to the sensor. CO alarms should be used in the home. In conjunction with proper placement and use these of the generator CO sensing generators are not needed.
39lb vs 48 lb: I'm not sure how these new 39 pound ultra-light inverters are achieving the claimed output or how long that output can be sustained especially in warm weather. More weight means more mass for heat dissipation.
79cc vs 98cc: The igen2500's 98cc is much preferred to the 79cc because it has more torque to handle surge better and with less voltage sag and fluctuation. This is perhaps more important than THD.
Dual Fuel: I use dual fuel in 5500 watt and larger 240 volt generators. On a small inverter it doesn't make sense. Loss of both power and portability.
LP runs cleaner internet hoax: The alleged ease of maintenance argument is false. Pull the clear plastic straw-like hose out and twist the float bowl screw to drain. Drain or siphon the 1/2 gal of fuel from the tank and you are done, ready to store indoors indefinitely. No fuel stabilizer required or recommended.
LP has zero lubricity. It causes engines to wear out faster.
Fuel savings with inverter: With few exceptions most will be happier with an inverter design. Big fuel savings. Quieter. Far more portable. Easy to store indoors which greatly extends service life and reduces maintenance issues. Buy a conventional for backup power only if you intend to wire it to your house panel or if you have essential 240V loads or a well pump. The cost to operate @ $6 per gallon or more will break the bank. If you need more AC due to a hot humid climate than an interverter can handle then you need a large conventional. Otherwise one or two igen2500's plus one 5500 watt conventional running intermittantly can satisfy most rural homes with a well pump.

Either way I'd recommend a dual-fuel or propane generator over a gas model. Propane produces a little less power, but makes everything else about owning/operating a generator orders of magnitude easier and cleaner.
Edit: Yes, the one you linked is a very good option for light loads and probably worth the price difference for a first generator. Champion is an excellent brand with great build quality, being able to run it on propane will keep it running for a while, and it will be very quiet. It's not quite as good a deal, but it's a better generator.
