FLEX 6500 vs 7300
1. The 6500 has dedicated ham band BPFs for each band, the 7300 does not.
2. The stage gain of the 7300 was not designed specifically for the needs
of an SDR but rather just copied off of the (analog) 7100.
3. There is a problem with the 7300 that when you switch on IP+ which adds
the dither, it also raises the noise floor by 10 dB. That should not
happen.
4. The 6500 costs about 3x as much, has been on the market longer and many
bugs have already been fixed.

Thank you to those who took the time to explain this apparent dichotomy.
I get it now that you all have opened up with descriptions that clarify the
question.
I wonder, then, why the 7300 is so much poorer than the Flex 6500?
