I would be very surprised if a plain old Y cable would suffice.  If the two 
inverters ( the EUs are actually DC generators with electronic inverters to 
make the AC happen) are not synchronised, each will see the other as a load.  
Depending on how far out of sync they are, each could see the other as a dead 
short.  This is what is commonly referred to in the trade as a "smoke generator".  
At close to 900 bucks apiece, I can't see that being as cheap as a night at 
the opera.

May be a limited, low volume market, but the $200 odd dollars sounds like 
cheap insurance to me too.
