I'd guess it's due to the unbelievable support they provide for them.  I toasted the 10M section in one of mine (high SWR on 10 and 200W exciter)...  They offered to send me the parts FOR FREE or I could send it back to be fixed FOR FREE.  They even paid the return shipping!!! Outstanding.

My 200W rig is gone, no more problems.
