A small difference in power isn't worth consideration vs the importance of a
clean signal.  A change from 4 w to 2 w is only 3 db which is not notable
for audio difference. Thus some of us who have owned for the entire time
haven't paid any long lasting attention.  I have never operated any QRP rig
at it's full power.  The reduced power has a huge advantage in battery life
and has little to no impact on the receiving station's ability to copy.
