Whisper Vs. Bergy, et. al...

Good evening, everyone!  Chris here, hoping to tap into the vast resource of knowledge that frequents this board.  I have two Whisper 100's, and am considering adding at least two more windmills.  The question is, what is your collective opinion as to the manufacturers out there?  I'm reasonably happy with the whisper, with one exception (which I'll address shortly...), but I would not mind choosing another manufacturer, to enable "in-the-field comparisons.  Have you any opinions on other brands?

As for the Whispers I currently have, they are rated at 1000 watts.  They have built-in auto furling.  Would one not expect, when they are furled in reasonably heavy winds, to find them crankin' out the rated wattage/amperage?  Mine are hooked to 24V banks, each in excess of 1000 amp/hrs.  However, I never see them cranking out more than about 24 amps...  and this when they are furled, which would indicate max output.  Suggestions? 

Thanks, and a fine, cozy evening to all!

ps-- I'd like, for aestethic reasons, to keep the units in the 1000-1500 watt range.  Can't have a honkin' huge 10kW unit monopolizing the island... Tongue

Hi Chris,
  I've actually toured Bergy Windpower's manufacturing facility and find these guys build top notch turbines, very ruggedly built.  I think you should definitely check out the Bergy XL.1. -----Ben
