Hurricane generators

That time of year again.

I already have a Wen 5500w generator but it's 15 years old and am considering buying another. Having two means I will have a backup, just in case.

I was considering buying this:

Westinghouse iGen2500 Portable Inverter Generator 2200 Rated & 2500 Peak Watts, Gas Powered

And then looked at this one which has electric start and dual fuel capability:

Rainier R4400DF Dual Fuel (Gas and Propane) Portable Generator with Electric Start - 4400 Peak Watts & 3600 Rated Watts

Top one is lighter and more portable but uses gas only and not as powerful.

I wonder if having the propane capability is something of value - this is for my home - not an RV. But I do keep propane for my grill. Would help with any fuel concerns when SHTF....

Thoughts?
