Simply having more isn't necessarily better.
Agreed for all the reasons you cited, Al. Good VHF/UHF FM rigs are pretty inexpensive, whether in mobile or talkie format. When I lived in "flatland" (Chicago) and traveled occasionally to other cities for business or pleasure, I was plenty happy with a Kenwood TH-F6A and a low power talkie amp. Here in NorCal, with mountain ridges separating communities, I have a Kenwood VHF/UHF rig in my SUV. And on the rare occasions I want to work small signal 2M, I fire up a vintage Elecraft transverter (rarely because I live on the wrong side of the ridge).
