I don't think the Orion is "too ambitious."
I also submit that the price of the Orion in inflation-adjusted dollars
is the same as the Omni-VI at the time it was introduced.
As for user-friendliness, these are not refrigerators... they are
specialized products for a very technical, hobbyist market. It's more
like buying an oscilloscope than a car.

How many feel that the Orion series is just too ambitious and will never
turn out to be a really user friendly rig for the average ham, no matter how
many revisions are made?
How many would like to see TT come out with something modern having the
"feel" of an OMNI VI, but with an Rx like the Orion II main? Possibly an updated
Jupiter?
Maybe somebody from TT will respond to this too?
