One is rated at 5kw the other at 10kw. One is 2cyl diesel, the other is 4cyl diesel. Basicly, twice the power, twice the fuel.

Like they said, these share a lot of parts, one is built on the Onan DJB block the other on the Onan DJC block. Keep in mind the ratings are ultra conservative, and designed to output full power 24/7/365.

Both are very good gensets for the money. I have an MEP-003A and it easily handles my entire house including HVAC, ovens, lights, etc. I also use the 3-phase 208 VAC for 3-phase power tools. If you don't need the 10 KW get the MEP-002a and burn less fuel.
