I've could really use a chipper/shredder. Something to handle up to 1.5-2
inch material. Recommendations?

 I have a Murray 5.5 hp chipper/shredder and not very pleased with it.
Just not enough umph to handle anything over an inch think. Shreds
leaves really good!

I would love to have a DR with an 11 hp motor. I have heard good things
about them.

Smallest chipper/shredders I can rent are $200/day. Considering I could
use one probably four times per year minimum, renting would be stupid.

5-6HP models will run you about $500US, but they're pretty light-duty. 10HP
models will run you about $1000US. Have you considered what you'd do with
all of the debris?
