I can open a repeater that is more than 60 miles away and very high at all, with my 857D as long as I'm willing to put up with my dash lights flashing when I do it (50 watts). I really need to get back on my bonding project. 
Point being anyway that 2m can get you help in all but the most remote areas.

experience tells me so.
PS Bummer about 2M RFI at 50W...
gets old doesn't it.

This is very true. Keying up the repeater doesn't necessarily mean you can talk through it....
