Randy, all I can say about your CW questions, is to read the QST reviews of 
the rigs you mention and compare the technical specs published on the 
internet comparison tables.

The Jones filter of the Scout compares well with the Argonaut V filtering on 
my V, on CW.

The speed issue is a non issue.  I know of few CW folks who sustain 25 wpm 
without a pause at SOME point, at which the micro in the Scout catches up. 
I believe if you do not use the built in keyer, you can go faster, but I am 
not a diehard CW man.

For the money, the Scout is a best buy!
I find a $1 plastic ice box tray makes a handy holder for unused Band 
modules.  Thus, I can carry one band module in the radio, and 8 in the tray. 
(yes, I have all bands for my Scout).
