They can't both be right!

A single, best contest logger doesn't exist, any more than there's
a single best transceiver or a single best computer.  They all have
their strong points, weak points and unique points - although which
are which may depend on the user's viewpoint.

Arguments like this are largely futile.  If a poll is required,
then run one - and let us choose any combination of loggers. If
contesters limit themselves to a single logger, they may miss
opportunities in some events.

The kind of poll I prefer is based on what people actually use in
specific contests.  Here's one for last year's IOTA contest -

Alternatively, check the results, and write-ups and soapbox comments
for RSGB 1.8 MHz contests over the last two or three years.

In last February's event, the winners of both sections used SD.
Of course, I may be a little biased :-)
