The big thing with Flex is the panadapter. The SSB performance of both the
Orion and Flex 5000 is great. My software can easily provide a great
panadapter for the Orion with LP-Pan if you want to do the VE7TK mod, or
with an inexpensize Flex 1500 without the mod.

That's probably enough to make the difference; I operate a lot of CW.
If the SSB performance is much better with the Flex, that might move me
back
to undecided.
Thanks for your response.

They are both great radios. The biggest difference is on CW. The Flex
radios have no CW QSK and the internal keyer in the Flex radios has
latency
which makes using the internal keyer difficult.
