Thanks David and Peter.

Yes,David there is a 300w Projecta one on the site for $239

That is interesting to hear Peter,that you rang quite a bit of gear of your inverter-what amp size battery did you have it hooked up too? and how often did you have to charge up battery? I have 120 w solar panels and a 98 amp hour battery.

Yes David,maybe over kill,but I was looking at using a small music player too,although I looked on back of it ,it had 23 w,I'd have thought it would have been higher.

Thanks for thoughts and feed back,I might just get the 300 w Projecta one for $239,although I like the digital read out on the bigger one.
