It's not a question of arguing. The O7 rx has an up-converting first i.f.
that lacks a narrow filter. As a result, it is only capable of 80dB narrow
spaced dynamic range, compared with 90-95dB for the Eagle/Orion. That
means the Eagle/Orion will do a noticeably better job of copying a weak
signal when there's a very strong signal close by. If you don't have the
specific need of copying weak cw signals on a band crowded with strong
signals, then it wouldn't be an issue.
