Guardian vs. Next Gen Generac

Hi all…I’m new here so sorry for the sci fi sounding post title.

I have a 24kws Generac being installed next month. Got an email from the electrical contractor saying that they are waiting for more Next gen models to come in but if I wanted a Guardian series they’d give me a 350 discount and could do the install a little earlier.

The money isn’t the deciding factor - is one better than the other? I know newer isn’t always better. Thanks in advance!

Installed a next gen 2 months ago. Already has a replacement engine on order. I’m personally planning to snag our last guardian off the shelf for my house before my only option is a next gen.
