i thought i was going to have to buy a new one to replace my xantrex 3000 watt sine wave inverter so i spent some time looking at companies.
magnum and outback were both started by engineers who left xantrex. xantrex is bascially a holding company that came about from various aquisitions (heart for one) i know my prosine inverter is 100% NOT repairable. whereas the older heart and later xantrex modified inverters were totally fixable
something to keep in mind is the new inverters use cat5 as the control lines between the new unit and control panel. when i had my 02 all apart i ran cat5 from the control panel to the inverter so that when i ever have to replace it they are already there.
i would go with either the magnum or outback.
