    I hear ya. I would have got a RELIANCE 10 circuit transfer panel switch. But I have a 100amp subpanel running to my shop. The shop panel is running my 240v water well. So I figured I would get a 200amp transfer switch and be done with it. Just have to turn off 2-3 breakers on the house panel...
