Looking to Upgrade Battery Charger and Add Inverter

On our B361, we have the original Xantrex battery charger, little one and we don't have an inverter. I'm looking to upgrade to either a single charger/inverter or a separate charger and a separate inverter.

I've been reading that Xantrex/Freedom are so-so, and that Magnum charger/inverters are top notch but costly. The thought of separating them is that if one component goes bad, I still have the other one.

Currently I'm looking at the Magnum MM-AE 1500 watt, 70amp inverter/charger and looking for some feedback on your upgrade experiences.

Magnum makes a very good unit if you decide to go with a combo. We chose the separate units and have an Iota Charger with a larger inverter.

The Newmar Phase Three chargers are very reliable. We've been selling them for years and have only had one come back. That one had gone under water.
