You can run it all day at 100W and it doesn't break a sweat. For digital modes the RX is plenty good enough and has a good AGC time constant (not so great for SSB). CI-V is very simple via the ttl serial port. $860 is a bit much but this new version is an FPGA design apparently. I usually find them used for $300-$400 and dedicate them to high duty cycle stuff.
