Most of the SGC tuners will work at 5 watts.  I think the T1 is neat, 
but why bother replacing the SGC, waterproofing the T1, etc?  You can 
still build a T1 and use it for portable operations!

You're right. On those bands where the SWR and reactance are high, 
having the tuner at the antenna base is an advantage.
