Yes I've got a VHF81 here [currently undergoing some serious rework] and when used alongside something like my Pye P75 the difference the extra RF-amp makes to MW/LW reception is really noticeable. I can hear stations at 'entertainment' quality on the VHF81 with its internal ferrite-rod that are totally beyond the capabilities of the P75 (even with a 60-foot outdoor antenna) to resolve.
