Peter, You might make sure that the inverter you choose has a built in charger as well. I'm not sure the smaller ProSine does; we've never used them. But you need the ability to backup charge from the grid for Sunday morning after the long Saturday night concert.
I would look at Outback's sealed FX2524 with their Flexware 250 product.
