John,
I've had the Kenwood for ten years and am thoroughly pleased with it 
and its performance.  Not used the Baufang.  From what I read and 
hear, perhaps the Kenwood is more robust and the power difference is 
probably not noticeable on the air.
Good luck with your final choice and welcome back to the hobby.
