My real world input is I use the XW for anything hard to start. XW is a single 6.8KW low frequency design that can supply 12KW for a minute. Radian is (2) 4KW inverters and I have found that XW is the best for this. Stacking often is not the answer for difficult loads. My experience only with deep wells offgrid! I use Radian also but not for something like this!
