We ended up going a different route because we don't lose power that often (We are in the NYC metro area). We bought a larger 10K watt portable gasoline generator for less than $1K and installed an interlock kit that powers everything in the panel. total cost was about $2K installed.

Problem with gasoline powered generators is getting fuel can be impossible during extended power outages. My area experienced a 2 week long power outage, and getting gasoline was limited. Gas stations were limiting people to a few gallons per carry canisters, and the lines were two hour waits. Often, you would be on line for an hour, and the gas station would run out of gas. That's why natural gas generators have their advantages during an extended outage.

But agree with you and came to the same conclusionโฆ as much as I'd like to just have seamless switching, it's just not worth 15-25k to me for the once or twice a year power goes out. Just no whole house AC on generator power, even our older 6500w Honda powers everything else we need; well pump, fridges, and heat for our animals in the winter, lights, TVs and other limited random stuff.
Only time we've ever had a problem getting gas was way back during that one hurricane (Sandy? I forget which stupid name it was)โฆ otherwise, gas stations always have power here (about an hour NW of NYC). Not to mention gas from the station is cheaper than LP, that shit it crazy in relatively small quantities!!!
My load shed modules are in my basement in a cool part of the house. I also don't think they shed much if ever. Mine are setup so that I can use car charger 1 or 2 not both or oven 1 and microwave or ovens 2 & 3 not both. The switching here never happens. I really added them so that anything in the house could be used and it's completely idiot proof vs having a few things that were always off
I have only 1 load shed module and it is on a double oven. Anytime we lose power (and we lose power a lot), it delays power to the double oven for 5 minutes. The installer we went through said that the Generac load shed modules were preferred due to price and ease of install. When the first one we had installed died, I had the installed replace it but knew that I could replace it myself easily. When the second one died, I went to Amazon to get one fast. I also started reading the reviews on Amazon, and saw lots of negative reviews. One guy had to replace 5 or 6 Generac load shed modules at the same time -- ouch!
We had to have a load shed module installed to pass inspection since the generator is just under what we require to power everything in the house on switchover/generator startup. But. it also is not realistic that we'd need to power absolutely everything in the house when the generator kicks on, but that's what we had to have to pass inspection.

My neighbor got one similar 10 years ago(21 or 22k) . $3k for the unit and $3k installation.

Yeah. It's a similar reason to why I have them. It's not realistic at my house to power everything automatically, I'd have had to gone to liquid cooled and that makes zero sense. I have a 200a panel and a 100a.
When we were calculating it all out I can run nearly everything but just not all at once on startup so we needed to make some choices. My freezers for example all spike high load on start up.
We determined that we could run all the essentials on the generator including multiple refrigerators (freezers), two ACs, two furnaces, two sets of washers and driers, all the lighting, etc. but then we got down to the ovens and car chargers and we had to make a choice how to manage them. And we figured an either or situation would be best.
The main reason I think this is really smart is that I can plug-in both cars for example, one can charge but not the other and when when is finished the other will start all automatically.
Same sort of concept with the ovens. If my wife turned one or the other it would just switch. Having things setup in a way where instructions of how to use it weren't necessary was my primary goal. So with this approach this is all accomplished.
FWIW it's pretty unlikely I'm charging both cars or using 3 ovens in a power outage, it's kinda insane actually. But I still wanted to make it all possible, and automatic. In an extended outage I'm not hosting guests and cooking or driving an EV, I'm likely taking a gas car for supplies. But all that's beside the point. The main point is load shed can help make this automated when you exceed the 25kw capacity
Due to overall pricing, even though Generac is the easy option, I'll be heating down the solar path with the next gen of solar on the horizon. Hopefully we don't have a week without power again before I accomplish.
I'm trying to wait patiently for a 700w residential panel.
