Would you guys help me evaluate this choice pls.

I have an opportunity to have a either one of the following:

TenTec Jupiter
As I understand it now has firmware for a tighter CW filter.
 
Ten Tec Omni VI 
with option 2
(factory installed option I)
 loaded with filters 

FT-1000(NON-D) 
loaded with filters

IC-756PROII

I have never owned a TenTec before but have been following some of the 
reflectors (couldn't find one for the Omni itself).

I understand the OMNIVI has DSP and as of the latest firmware update it has a 

I realize the TenTec does not have diversity receive and the FT-1000 does for 
pile ups and contesting.

However,

I understand the TenTec to be *the rig* for CW ops, but am not sure if it would 
be worth loosing the true diversity receiver of the
FT-1000.

I like CW Dxing and CW contesting from home as single op assisted status 
usually.

Don't really care for SSB unless I am helping out in an emergency or on my MARS 
nets.

I have looked over the eham reviews until I am blue in the face. I need to have 
some comparison opinions on the two radios from
experienced operators.
