Agreed for all the reasons you cited, Al. Good VHF/UHF FM rigs are 
pretty inexpensive, whether in mobile or talkie format. When I lived in 
"flatland" (Chicago) and traveled occasionally to other cities for 
business or pleasure, I was plenty happy with a Kenwood TH-F6A and a low 
power talkie amp. Here in NorCal, with mountain ridges separating 
communities, I have a Kenwood VHF/UHF rig in my SUV. And on the rare 
occasions I want to work small signal 2M, I fire up a vintage Elecraft 
transverter (rarely because I live on the wrong side of the ridge).
