I haven't had a chance to test the newest firmware yet, but this sounds 
a lot like something I reported to Elecraft a while back. The funny 
thing is that the power offset between SSB and CW is not always the same 
and usually worse at powers at the low end of the scale (c. 30 W). At 
the high end, 100W are 100W in CW and SSB. I found resetting the power 
several time helps.

I've heard that they *are* working on a solution. We will have wait for 
the next major update I suppose.
