I know this'll sound like a broken record ( does anyone even remember what 
that means? ), but if you're 20 over S-9 at a kilowatt, you'll still be S-5 
at 100 milliwatts. Obviously not a pile-up buster signal, but I think we 
sometimes loose track of just how much or how little power is actually 
required to communicate.

That said, in my opinion, if you're gonna run an amp, go for max if you have 
the room, and/or the budget.
