I peak for max power on my TR4. Not only can I do it with 2 hands (or 
even one), but its quite fast too, which helps prolong the life of the 
finals. Also don't forget you can use max power when using RF Tune as 
well.

I also tune my Swan transceivers for max output. Works very well. I 
first peak the PA grid, then tune the plate/load.
