I don't know how the power compares, but I'd go for the f6.  It gives 
you a receiver from a m to 1 gig I think, also has 220.  Very easy to 
program.  The others are a bit more complicated, I've done it, the 
Kenwoods are much simpler.  I've got several of the chineese radios, but 
still prefer my f6.
