Are you strictly CW?  Are you an exacting and demanding CW operator?
If the answer to these two questions is NO, then don't let that bother you.  
How ever I ride a Harley Davidson, the finest Motorcycle made, yet I know that 
not every one would be happy riding a Harley.  (I usually say something like 
"nothing is for everybody, I even know men that do not like girls" or something 
to that effect, but I am not sure if it is appropriate here so I won't say it 
OK).  My experience has been great with the OMNI IV updated to the + version at 
the factory.   I get very good signal reports from almost every one.  I would 
say that if you have pride in your country, and want a fine radio made in your 
country then get a TEN-TEC, and enjoy it.  If you have to have something 
different than others, I don't know what to tell you.  Good luck with what ever 
radio you decide to buy, 73 Paul
