Exactly. Restricting power to 1500 watts regardless of nationality is ridiculous because someone can run 1500 watts into a G5RV at 30 feet while someone else can run 400 watts into stacked monobanders at 110 feet making the clear advantage the latter.I can see different classes within a contest such as QRP or 100 watt class etc. The specs on gear clearly capable of more power than stated is beyond me.
