True, but I guess if we are going to desscribe "gensets" and engineering, the discussion has to be narrowed a bit. Yes, a smaller engine running fast (often air-cooled), that makes imperfect AC power, makes a unit much easier to haul around. It's a compromise, but as I've maintained - the fast running engine has nothing to do with making better AC power.
There's a big difference in the purpose and engineering between "portable" or "jobsite" gensets, as compared to little used "home backup gensets", compared to constant duty gensets designed to work a lot and make near perfect AC power.
Portable AC gensets rarely make correct AC power, but yes - are handy and easy to move around. They also tend not to be very efficient. Imperfect AC power rarely matters with power tools and not-electronic chip-controlled appliances. On the other hand, the more pricey portable DC to AC gensets are pretty efficient (often called Inverter series). Note they also run very slow much of the time.
Standyby gensets primarily designed for home backup come in many flavors, but many are cheap crap NOT designed to be used constant duty. In fact, many void the warranty if they catch you hooking one up to a house that lacks grid power. Read the small print in their warrantees.
The most expensive, slow-running, constant duty gensets that replicate grid AC power are the most expensive, and the most efficient have the slowest running engines.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
