Just think about the efforts people do to have 2 db more gain with antennas...
Peter,
Yes, 2dB will make a contact that is just missed without it.
Add 2dB and then an extra 2dB will make a contact that is just missed without it.
And so on until you have more dB than anyone else....
By then QRP is abandoned:-)
As others have said the QMX+ could most likely be tweaked to give 5 Watts on 20m at the expense of what else is on the same LPF.
And, as others have said maybe the PA will last longer with 3 Watts.
The QMX is not an expensive complex rig where everything is calculated to the last fraction of a dB.
