They are both great radios. The biggest difference is on CW. The Flex radios have no CW QSK and the internal keyer in the Flex radios has latency which makes using the internal keyer difficult.

All,

I realize that the two are very different realizations of transceivers, but
from an operating standpoint, does anyone have any experience or
observations?    The cost is about the same for the two (or close enough
that I'm considering them both).  Which "works" better?  Ability to hear
signals, ability to transmit a signal that will be heard?

I've read reviews of both, but without hands-on experience, there's no way
for me to compare, and I don't want to buy both.

Thanks.

73,
