I would like to hear opinions on if it makes any difference to configure the
KPA-500 for 220 volts?  Is it any more efficient?   Seems to me that 110
would be the way to go for portability as long as efficiency is the same or
nearly the same.

I have read that an Electric Meter (wattage meter) will run up the bill more if the load is not balanced across the two feeders in the meter.  By running things on 220 Volts when possible, it may help to balance the load and the meter becomes more efficient for the consumer. YMMV
