Of course SO2R is a major advantage.
We’re just arguing over whether SO2R use ought to entitle one to actually use
twice the spectrum. In a few rare cases, such as N6MJ or CT1BOH running 400/hr
from a much needed multiplier, its use is benign to beneficial. For a USA or
common European station to be taking up 2X the spectrum by dual CQing is not.
And as I mentioned earlier, the situation is quite different between CW and
phone.
The more common use of SO2R, to pick off a few extra multipliers or QSOs, and
to monitor another band to make the decision to switch the running station and
to find a clear frequency to do so, is not in dispute.
