You are absolutely correct IMO. Your shack, your environment and your
opinion are what matter in the final analysis. But before we get to the
final analysis we need to have a way to decide what comes into our shack
for further examination! Third party opinion of all types has a part to
play in that.
Meantime, I've surveyed all manner of third party opinion. Now I just
wish TT would finish manufacturing and ship my Orion so I can do the "In
shack" bit.

My 2 cents on this beat-to-death topic:
Newer rigs are more critically graded on eHam compared
to older rigs. So yes, I take the 5.0 rating of the
765/781 and, especially, the 950SDX with a large grain
of salt.
I'm not convinced that published lab test measurements
of ham equipment are repeatable and stand up to
scrutiny, let alone comparison between radios. IMHO,
performance in your shack, in your environment, is the
only meaningful measure. I REALLY don't believe these
numbers mean much - I've seen just too much
contradiction in numbers and in experience.
