Nope, when the inverter goes, I don't want to have to buy another $1800

Bad advice in my opinion. Cheaper perhaps, but much less capable and
convenient.

There are few, if any, battery chargers with the amperage output
offered by the inverter chargers. When you are trying to recharge a
400 to 800 Amp-Hour battery bank you need a charger with some serious
power.

Also, the convenience of having automatic transfer switching,
integrated with your onboard AC power, is hard to imagine unless
you've tried it.
