it'd pay to review the SPE and other offerings both in technical and support

In my limited contact with SPE amps, I'd say the Elecraft amps are
substantially cleaner. One of our neighbors was getting reports of a
dirty signal on 6M, so one of the guys went to his QTH to help him
diagnose and clean it up, while I watched on a P3/SVGA. Part of the
problem was that he was running at low voltage; sidebands dropped by
about 6 dB when he switched to high power (he was only running
400-500W), but sidebands were still very nasty, looked like noise rather
than the small but pronounced peaks spaced in 300 Hz increments from
N5KO's FT8 signal. I had one for a few weeks, but dumped it because it
wasn't very clean.
