This question grew out of the refrigerator thread going on, but really is a somewhat separate issue, so I am starting a new thread. So assuming I want a 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter...

~$500 for the Samlex, or $200 for whatever TigerClaw is

Based on prices it seems Samlex, GoPower and Xantrex are the brands that command the higher prices. Are they really worth double the price? I just chose the above two Amazon listings as representative. There are other high priced name-brand inverters, and other off-brand pure sine wave inverters in the $200 price range.
