That's pretty damned cool...2.5 hp can run an hour at 5000 rpm on a little green camping propane bottle!

The 15hp model weighs less than a 15hp electric start + battery, but requires a propane tank on board which weighs much more than a plastic gas can...performance will probably be about the same judging by the power/weight of the comparable setups.
 
You should check into the cost to run it compared to gas. I think I read that they are less efficient per $ of fuel cost. Plus I would see it as less convenient refueling.
