YES! While both of us are serious RTTY contesters, I was just as happy
as you when FT8 replaced it, for exactly that reason!

And remember the rate of FT8 vs. RTTY in a dxpediton setting. Depending
on the pileup and RTTY op skill, dxpediton RTTY rates can be miserable.
FT8 is the silver bullet for the signal level as Jim mentions plus the
rate improvement. A win-win from a dxpedition cost per QSO standpoint
in a digital mode!
