There is a very interesting chart on the Elecraft web site that compares
various rigs. The OmniVI+, Scout and Peg/Jupiter are compared with other
contemporary rigs.  Of course the purpose of the nice chart is to promote the
excellent RX characteristics of the Elecraft K2 - a fact that builders and
owners of this fine rig can attest to.

The Pegasus/Jupiter seem to have red flag entries for five of seven of the
measurement categories. Pse check it out for yourself at: 
http://www.elecraft.com/K2_perf.htm  The two part article that appeared in the
July and August issues of CQ Magazine was particularly critical of the
Pegasus/Jupiter RX.  

In actual use my Jupiter seems to be performing extremely well with a modest
dipole on the roof. Your mileage will certainly vary :-)
