Great combo!
I run a Corsair II with the matching external VFO and the Drake R4-C / T4X-C
combination. I alternated between them last weekend during the ARRL DX
contest. Hard to decide which I like better and at no time did I feel that my
equipment hampered my effort in any way.
I am *not* inclined to "upgrade".

I too plan on keeping my Corsair II and matching external VFO (providing true dual

twins is on my 2009 purchase list...... There are some things that can only be done well
by a well designed analog IF and PTO. "You can't work what you can't hear!"
