If you buy a tuner only capable of handling one or two hundred watts,
and then you decide to get an amplifier, you'll have to get a new tuner,
(or change your antenna[s] so that you don't need a tuner).
All of the manually adjusted tuners that can handle legal limit power
will work with low power. All or most of the auto tuning tuners that can
handle higher powers (there are not many that can really do full legal
limit) will also work nicely at low power. There may be some higher
power auto tuners that need more than QRP power levels to make their SWR
detectors work. Most require, or at least suggest, using lower power
while tuning anyway.
