With the exception of a very few individuals I think most of us already understand that, that's why a used HF rig usually costs upwards of $400. It just cracks me up how often people use the "same money" argument when comparing used lower end HF gear to new high power exports. If going used you can get a decent export for significantly less cash than an HF rig.
Money isn't everything. If you want quality you have to pay for it and a new high power (100 watt?) export is still of inferior quality to a used lower end HF radio with the same power output.
