Busting a pile up more about skill.  Knowing when and where to call is far more important than attempting to out power everyone else.  I would also agree that having your voice equalized for punch and readability is also important.

Love that analysis Brian.  Even though it's on an unmeasured distribution and 
other factors will be at play (I'd add voice characteristics and call timing to 
those you noted) it gives guidance as to how much effort to put into the 
station system.
At the practical level, in addition to antenna changes, many folks can get that 
0.5dB (or more) from better coax choices.  I'm amazed how many still choose 
RG213 without taking into account how much they are throwing away at 15m or 
higher bands...
