Yes we disagree ... AA5AU has proven rather conclusively that 
in the hands of a skilled operator SO2R is an advantage equivalent 
to big antennas.  However, that also proves that antennas are a 
significant advantage:  a 3 element tribander at 50 feet confers 
about the same advantage over a single element antenna as SO2R 
over SO1R ... tribander or monoband stacks confer about the same 
advantage over a 3 element tribander at 50 fee as SO2R over SO1R.

If you are going to single out SOmR for a separate category, then 
make separate categories for tribanders and stacks.  To do anything 
else pure unvarnished bigotry: "Those people are different - I don't 
want them in MY neighborhood."
