Our team (PJ4R&TI5N ARRL DX CW 2004-2006) has been using 746PROs. We find
the receivers too hot. They act like good contest rigs with some
attenuation.

Yes in many cases our receivers these days are far too sensetive,
i e too low noise floor, usually on the low bands it´s not needed
at all.
Fixing things with a RX front end attenuator is IMO smart, forexample
if you attenutae RX with 6 dB that will give your RX 12 dB increased
IMDDR3 performance, that´s why a small attenuation will make a
big impact.
