Parasitic draw can add up quickly. We have twin Outback Power 2800 watt inverters with their Outback-PSX-240 transformer configured for load balancing - we haven’t measured the exact amount each of them has in parasitic draw, but it seems to be around 1amp each inverter.You can have to small an inverter, but never to large. In standby mode, one inverter, rather than 2, will draw less power, so one big unit makes perfect sense.
Other downside to multiple inverters is loss of space.

Love reading here and learning.
