I bought an Argonaut VI to get some idea of how good a new DSP rig might be, and it is very good, but it seems to have some problems with really close in QRM, though its selectivity is a bit better than the Corsair II.  I used the Corsair II to work T32C a while back, and on 40 meters, I had to use the 250 Hz filter and the audio filter to pull them out from some lid transmitting very close to them.  I was able to copy them, despite this, and was very happy to have that level of performance.  Right now, I am using the Ten Tec RF speech clipper with the Corsair II and it works very well.  I couldn't pass up the deal on the Omni VII, and have been concerned with parts availability for the Corsair II, but really like its level of performance.  Would I buy a Corsair III?  Sure, but I doubt that Ten Tec could find enough buyers for it.  Most people now seem to want contest winning rigs, and I am not sure that a superb analog rig, even with digital outputs for mode and frequency would find enough buyers.
