No. It's no contest.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just get another generator at the second
tower? That's a lot of copper at 250'.

I'm at a site where two towers are about 250' apart. There's a 2"
conduit between the two towers, with nothing in it but a fiber
optic cable. My tower does not have a generator, but the other
one does. The guy at the other tower offered to let me run
electric off of a breaker on his transfer panel so I could have a
generator protected circuit. This sounds great in theory, but I
have a bad feeling about it because (obviously) we have two
separate electric services now and two separate grounding systems.
If I don't bond the grounds together it seems like different
potentials at each site could equalize by passing energy through
the ground/neutral wire of this theoretical power line, and it
would get there via my equipment and blow something up in the process.
....but on the other hand, is bonding the grounds together
something that's actually ok to do?
