My LP-300 has a peak power mode with a peak-hold display on the
numerical readout. It also has fast "analog" bargraphs for power and SWR
that can follow voice peaks. It shows accurate SWR down to about 10 mW
forward power. It runs on a 9V Duracell or Lithium battery, or external 12v.

I'm currently using my Palstar meter which I have wired backwards. The
reflected scale then gives me QRP resolution for measuring forward
power. Of course my ability to measure SWR is gone but at 5 or 10 watts
that meter doesn't really support SWR measurement anyway.
One of the things I really like about my Palstar is that it is active
and really measures and reports peak power. I'll get 100 watts key down
with my ic-735. Go to a string of dits and it still reads 100 watts.
Call CQ on SSB and it shows 100 watts. Nice. Of course, an active
meter may not be so conducive to portable operation.

Speaking of test equipment, I'd like to see Elecraft come out with a
real QRP watt meter at a decent price. Something small that can be
taken to the field and can read 1 mW up to 20W. The OHR QRP watt meter
is nice but too big for the trail and a bit on the expensive side IMO.
I think a watt meter of this type could probably be offered in the $50 -
$75 range, especially in kit form.
