I don't know which Titan K4TAX is referring to, since there have been at
least three incarnations of the Titan, with a few versions of each,
having minor changes as the design evolved. (At least that is the case
with the 425 Titan)
I have a Titan 425. It is a real nice amplifier. QSK is great when
operated with Ten-Tec rigs using T-T keying loop. I would not call the
Titan 425 a full power contest duty amplifier. You cannot run it at 1500
watts output in near continuous duty, such as in RTTY mode. Even in CW
mode it is pushing it to operate at full legal output for extended
periods of CQing. (probably not good operating practice anyway)
My Titan 425 is the biggest amplifier I have, and I would like to have a
bigger one for contest service. Not to exceed the legal power output
limit, but rather to have just a bit more high duty cycle full power
capability. I don't regret buying my Titan 425 and it is not for sale. I
think it is a great amplifier. You'd probably like one too. Still, for
contesting it could be just a bit more stout.
