Hmmm...    lower power = cleaner signal ...    Hmmm....

Maybe you overstate your case?   A 100 watt rig should be clean through 
all 100 watts.  One should not have to lower power and run an amp to 
have a clean signal.  Otherwise, the mfr should call it an 80 watt rig, 
with 20 watts overhead on the dial above the clipping point, or 
something to that effect.
