jlib, I think that there are some things that are never enogh or at least more is always better. Some things in this category are car horsepower, computer memory, money and love, it's almost impossible to have too much. Amplifier power (watts) definitely is in this category; if you have 65w is because you can't buy more, not because it's useless. That's the reason Outlaw offers power amplifiers with 200w and even more is coming.

Any receiver in the same price category that has more power definitely it's a plus. Will be good to hear from some of the Outlaws a more detailed explanation about the other things related to power that are not reflected in the watts number (dynamic power, headroom, transformer capacity, etc). Probably this can be the point for Model 1070. Unfortunately these aspects are not covered by marketing and we end comparing watts.
