Wondering if I should just buy another generator and run in parallel for full 50amp service or install a hard start capacitor/micro AC.

I installed a hard-start cart cap on my 13.5 ac and can start it using one Honda EU2000, however it isn't pretty. I now have two 2000 watt generators and have much more freedom to run things. Starting the ac doesn't hurt anymore either.
With a 2800, I would think you would be ok with a hard-start cap.
FYI: prior to the hard-start cap, I could not start my ac with a single 2000 watt generator... even with everything else off and the fan already running.
