How far the cable has to run for the switch is the big price difference.
I chose to go the portable route because a whole house generator was 3x the expensive. Be realistic about what you need in a power outage and how often you need it.
My parents in BR have no trees and buried power lines. They have only lost power for more than 12 hours two times in 10 years. My dad has only used his portable generator for Ida and it ran his fridges, fans, and window unit.

I've said it on this board before, but I got an 11kw generator for $1200. I have 2 AC units, 3 and 4 ton. It runs the whole house except for the 4 ton unit which is only our downstairs. All bedrooms and a second living room are upstairs. We can easily 'survive' a long time like that. Saved thousands, but more importantly it can be brought to our next home if desired.
