I like the "built-in Logic" in a single lever key. When you send dits
you cannot
send dahs.... and vice-versa..
(I picked this up from the late originator of the digital keyer W9TO,
Jim.) [flip-flop MVB's, etc]
Keeps my thought process "orderly!"
True, if you master the iambic method, you can save a few milliseconds
but how many "true" iambic types send over 55 wpm on a consistent basis?
Below that speed the single lever does fine...
