Clayton,

I also have an older Jupiter. How hard was the conversion from green to blue? I also have the Argonaut VI for summer playtime. That has a better receiver but not a lot better. It does have a nice screen though. I am tempted to buy or make a 100 W amplifier for playtime at home.

Mine came as a grey/green (older version) and I liked it so much I
converted it to black/blue) .  Looks just like the last one that came
off the line.  The receiver is the best of any I have used.  I would
find one with the latest firmware, although you could update one
in short order.  I like the variable bandwidth so you do not need ant
additional filters.

I have an older Omni Vl+ sitting beside my Jupiter and most of the
time I'm on the Jupiter.  Downside, does not have the keyboard
freq entry ala the Omni.

I primarily operate low-band CW 90% of the time. Any information would be greatly appreciated. also, what's a good price for a Jupiter in good to excellent condition?
