No, that's an apples to oranges comparison since you want a solid state amplifier to be capable of 65% "headroom". A well designed amplifier using 8 VRF-2933 or a pair of the Motorola/ Phillips 1200

8 x VRF-2933 or 2 x 1200 W Motorola/Phillips "blocks" are not a 1200W amplifier. 2 x VRF-2933 do 600W brick on the key in the KPA-500. Both configurations I listed will do 2 KW CCS with reserve gain

I am honestly surprised that nobody has updated the Grandberg 4 x MFR150 design (EB 104) for the VRF-2933. That would make a "single board KW" for 90% Plus of all amateurs ... something within 0.5 dB

With compression greater than 3 dB for full power output it's certainly an IMD generator. To keep it linear and maintain reasonable IMD, the output power would need to be held below 7 KW if not sligh

Even high VHF (Ch 7-13) suffers from noise and interference not present in the lower UHF channels. In addition, the propagation/allocation models were seriously flawed - many of those with high VHF

If you are going to erect an external antenna, use the right antenna for the job. In mixed U/V environments, that's a U/V antenna - not a UHF bowtie that just "might" work on close-in VHF signals. If
