* AC Output: 110V & DC Output: 12V, 8 AMP
* Recoil Starting System

That second one has a voltage meter besides the 12 volt output.

Personally, I'll hold off since the second one is at that price always and I don't need another project right now (I don't have the preheat system yet and I may score a hangar with power soon.)
