All the rationalizations and anecdotal experiences aside, there is no escape from the physical reality that a 100 watt station will be 13 dB stronger than the same station running QRP 5 watts. Whether or not this 13 Db is crucial depends upon propagation conditions and noise and QRM levels at the receiving end.
