HP makes your signal louder. Any operator, regardless of
ability or experience is likely to better with a louder
signal. It's self-evident that HP is an advantage. This
is a "hardware issue".
It's self-evident that MO stations tend to do better that
SO stations - it's a "numbers" issue.

If I can copy CW better than you, I'll probably do better
in CW contests. If I can speak (clearly) faster than you,
I'll probably do better in phone contests. If I can
manage two (or more) radios better than you, I'll probably
do better in most contests. This is not a hardware issue,
it's an "operator" issue.
Either learn the skills or stop complaining. If you already
have the skills, then enjoy your competitive advantage.
