I like the "built-in Logic" in a single lever key.    When you send dits 
you cannot
send dahs.... and vice-versa..

(I picked this up from the late originator of the digital keyer W9TO, 
Jim.)  [flip-flop MVB's, etc]

Keeps my thought process "orderly!"

True, if you master the iambic method, you can save a few milliseconds
but how many "true" iambic types send over 55 wpm on a consistent basis?

Below that speed the single lever does fine...
