Roger,
 
I have both an OMNI VI and a Pegasus. I would suggest you get the Jupiter, and computer control it. Having said that, it is a tough call between the 2 rigs. The Omni VI has Specifications that show a BIT better receiver than the Jupiter, but as a mere mortal, I find both rigs Fantastic, let others argue specs.
 
As far as Compter Control, Unlike most times when one inserts a computer into the mix, using one to control a TT rig is actually a help, not a hindrance.
 
SO, call and order the Jupiter, Operators are standing by =0)

So the question is "If you wanted a relative simple radio for CW work (use
is 75% rag chew; 15% contest; and 10% DX)and you had to keep the cost down, would you opt for an older rig such as a Corsair II or a software driven older rig such as an Omni VI or spring for something in the price range of a new Jupiter? My budget is somewhere between $600 and $1800 which rules out a number of options.
 
Any constructive thoughts would certainly be welcome either off-line or on the list. Thanks and 73s
