Same here.  I've never had problems using 4 different rigs (TS-930S,
FT-1000MP, Orion and K3) running legal limit power to verticals with
Beverages nearby (once even over elevated radials at my Colorado QTH).  If
you pay careful attention to common mode reduction (i.e. isolating ground
returns) I don't think you need "front end savers", etc.

CU in the CQ 160 this weekend...band sounds like it may be improving.
