I looked at it somewhat differently. I weighed the what it costs with the cost of not having power when we need it in addition to how often we might need it. Having no furnace in the winter was a particular concern. Frozen pipes, etc could be a real problem. We have a thousand dollars or so of food in freezers, so having our freezers down for an extended period would be costly. Stumbling around in a dark house was another concern. I have a place for an emergency flashlight but somehow the damn thing is never there.
