Your question is very relevant, and one which Wayne/W5XD will need to
consider for future firmware updates ( will these be plug in replacements I
wonder- Wayne?). Inasmuch as there is a continuing market for single lever
paddles, and yet no keyer that I know fails to offer iambic mode, I suspect
the answer might be a minority. We need a straw poll, and perhaps the good
guys here will vote.

Hundertprozentig korrekt! Perhaps it is old age and numb fingers, or plain
sloppiness but I also can't get used to the dot memory being permanently on.
W9TO in 196x with a Mercury wetted relay worked as well as anything since
imo.
