The K144XV would give you all mode instead of just FM but at more
cost and lower power.

If you only want 2 meter FM, then a separate less-expensive
higher-power 2 meter FM mobile rig right might make a lot more sense
to you. That's the approach I use. Since I never transmit on both at
the same time, I use one power supply for both the 2 meter FM rig and
the K3/100.
