For small increments, I agree.  Two-radio operation is not a small
increment, IMO, much like the difference between LP and HP, and should
be categorized likewise.

I realize contesting will never be completely fair, but I believe we
should make the effort as much as possible.  You can never neutralize
geography for example, but things which can be done should be.

The real fun and excitement in competition happens when the
competition is nearly equal.  Nobody likes a blowout, not even the
winner.  Nearly all sports all over the world recognize this.  Amateur
radio contesting is one exception.
