Baofeng vs Kenwood portable?

Which between these 2 would be a better choice for reaching out to further repeaters? BaoFeng UV-82HP or KenwoodTH-K20A

I got the Baofeng (I don’t mind returning it though), but I heard somebody say that they got this Kenwood after owning a Baofeng (UV5RA) and it was able to reach out much further. Is the extra price worth it?

Or is there an even better choice out there? I’m willing to spend up to $250 for a small-ish portable radio like these. Getting my general license this weekend!
