We had the automatic fail-over switch and the 500 gal tank of propane, which is a great set-up. The town we lived in in CT lost power regularly, and for days at a time. We were on well and septic, so without the generator, things got really gross really fast. It is not a trivial expense, but if you have the dough and lose power often, I would highly recommend it.
While I do not remember the exact price I can tell you that I definitely did not pay anywhere near that price! It was definitely less than 10 grand...
