Mni tnx to all who responded to my query both on- and off-list.
I probably should have initially explained that my primary interest
is in high speed CW (60+ WPM) long-winded rag chews. At those
speeds even the best of rigs start to show deficiencies.
I especially enjoyed all the different perspectives that expanded my
understanding of issues I'd never even considered before.
An unexpected result is that I was offered a 561 Corsair II with
a 263 VFO and a PS for a price I just couldn't turn down.
So I'll be holding off on the newer rigs - for a while at least.
Agn, thanks for all the input.
I really appreciate the help.

I hope someone on the list can advise me.
I'm a CW only op. I've used the 50W TenTec Century 21 for years.
It was already used when I bought it. With its full breakin,
it's been a joy to use in high speed operaton.
But, ... it's beginning to show its age in several ways. And I have a
friend that I've promised to give it to if I find a suitable
replacement.
I'm not interested in voice or digital modes, and I consider such
circuitry to be an unnecessary expense, not to mention the deleterious
effect it has on CW operation.
I understand the Corsair II was also a CW op's dream rig, despite
the voice stuff.
So, what TenTec rig, if any, do I move on to?
Do any of the current TenTec offerings have what I'm looking for - full
breakin,
or do I have to go back to my roots and start home brewing all my rigs?
I truly don't mean to step on any toes with my comments, I'm just asking
about
what appeals to me personally, old curmudgeon that I am.
Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.
