For most of us competing is personal. It doesn't matter what power or antenna 
we have, it is a personal contest. How well are we doing compared with last 
year? We may add a personal contest to compare with our call area, club or 
other specific competitors, but most of us here are not competing to win. Even 
if we do win a certificate or something, who really cares? If we do even show 
it to someone, they smile and say it's nice, but they don't understand what we 
did to earn it.

So it comes back to a personal achievement. If you need a kilowatt to achieve 
your personal goals, buy it. If you are satisfied with 100 watts, save your 
money. If you need to improve your antennas, go for it.  If you won't be 
satisfied until you have done your best, go legal limit with a tower and a nice 
beam, but first move to a good QTH. (And since you have so much money, write me 
a nice check for consultant's fee.)
