Hellosailor, your numbers are straight but your conclusions off.
I would not need to run a induction burner at full for 20 min. Even using pressure cookers, my guess is half amount of juice. And with the genset going during that time, I figure it wouldn't matter.
As for noise, true they make some, but since I don't like to anchor near others, its not a issue for them, more a annoyance to me. And since I have to charge with something, I would rather it be a honda genset than the perkins.
But I will grant you that I might be trading one set of problems for another. Which is why I can always change it back if I so choose. But my guess is it will work out ok.
I just don't like the idea of propane in my boat.

And I am a big fan of PBJ. Nothing wrong with it, just like some variety.
