In an area with a high potential for blackouts, I would think that
a manual system would be a good selling point.
Sure an automatic transfer is nicer, but they're also *a lot* more
expensive to install.
We've got a manual transfer system... The lights go out, we plug
the generator into the transfer box, fire up the generator, flip
a few switches, and the important parts of the house have power.
