It would be interesting to compare the toroids and capacitors in both products. My guess is that they would be similar, and the difference in ratings is based on the degree to which the manufacturer wishes to be conservative. As I've said on numerous occasions, MFJ products are rated in MFJ watts, which are half the size of regular watts (Pmfj = 2EI).
