The Street has great instrument inputs, decent mic preamps, and obviosly high pass filtered line inputs. The volume is plenty for a large, near 100 people event at conversation friendly volumes on batteries. It is marginal for bass guitar. It is no competition for the K10...

I hear you on the inverter option. It offers a real advantage in terms of both cost and sound. That battery you linked is a pretty compact package and 300-400w inverters are pretty small. I already have the QSCs as well as an acoustic amp so I may have to look at the inverter approach more seriously. What is your take on inverter noise? When playing I suspect it is not heard but thought I'd ask.
And thanks for the information on the Roland. Sounds like it would probably get the job done, is a clear favorite for convenience but somewhat limited sonically. The thought of having access to a real acoustic amp/PA is pretty compelling. As is the savings by going the inverter route.
