Looking at amp models kl-203p. And kl-200p the 203 is mosfet and the 200 has 1 MRF-454 is the the 200 is slightly more but is it the better amp. And yes I know you get what. You pay for in these amps

I have no experience with the KL-200 but have read a few places where they don't fare as well if you are using SSB. Seems they can be choppy. So if SSB is part of the picture you may want to do additional research.
I have a KL-203P and have had good success. You will need to add a fan if you have any extended conversations. As another stated, the preamp has been useless for me.
I also have a KL-503 which is what I used most often. If size is not an issue that would be my suggestion. It has a slightly lower input rating but you would most likely want to make that change for the KL-2xx. It has a higher amperage draw as well, but well within what I would call a reasonable range. It stays cool even during longer chats and very clean on both AM and SSB.
You want a Denali or a WT with roll down window? Both will get you there, but the Denali will sound and look better.
I've got a kl200 and yes it is choppy on sidband. boxed mine up and got a 503 and it sounds great on sideband. the 203 from people I've spoke with say it does very well on sideband. Stay away from the 200 if you're a sidebander.
