In any case, FWIW, both these amps have QSK.
In addition, it is not what capabilities you have in a piece of equipment,
but how you use it, that determines whether you're a LID, so this seems like
a pretty silly argument!
The best hams are 1) courteous and 2) have good listening skills. Between
those two requirements, 75-80% of amateurs are eliminated anyway.
