I don't think anyone is saying that.  We are talking about the 1.75 dB 
difference or so between 1KW and 1.5KW.  The power difference between 100 
W and 1000W IS a big difference.

However, power isn't everything.  If I can hit a DX station on 100 Watts 
and he hears me 10 dB over 9, then running 1 KW ain't gonna do too much 
except possibly IM his receiver's front end!
