Here's my thoughts. I've gotten a sweep on LP phone about six or  
seven times now. Assisted could really help if you are just part-time  
- like 5-10 hours only. If you are going FT, you're going to get 95%  
of the mults from running anyway, so there's little benefit to going  
assisted for that reason. It might help a little bit to help crunch  
out the Qs on the second radio. Maybe.

If you are going HP, hopefully you can choose a band that has enough  
activity to give you some good runs, and not have that much time for  
the spots.

Then again, if you like doing the cluster thing, it could be fun. I  
don't see it making a big difference, score-wise.
