You're welcome, of course.

I just bought a TS-50 in May. I couldn't see being limited to 5 watts
all the time. The power on the TS-50 can always be reduced if I want
to do QRP operating, and a lot more easily than trying to increase the
power from an 817.

Having owned both, I would go with the TS50. Unless you have a real antenna
for qrp work, you get frustrated quickly. QRP takes patience. With the
Kenwood, you don't need any!!

Unless you're REALLY into QRP, then the TS-50 is your most versatile rig.
Had both and sold them to get a 706IIG and then bought a second because I'm
so happy with it.
