How can tell him he will be disappointed in a rig that you have never owned.
You know the Jupitor, so keep your comments there. The Argonaut is also a
full coverage rig and is a very good SWL receiver too.
I on the other hand, have the Argonaut V and love it. I am 100% QRP. Have
had 100 watt rigs but have always returned to QRP. I find the adjustable
band width very usefull over a fixed filter system.
Henry is correct that it depends on what type of rig you want. Both have
excellant receivers, so it depends on your needs when it comes to output
power. One is a 20 watt fig and the other is 100 watts. You are looking at
the best of both worlds.
For me, it would be the lower power rig. Those who live next to me do not
know of my hobby and the low power keeps it that way.
What a nice spot you find yourself in. A new rig is allways fun.

Kirk,
My suggestion is that you should base your decision on the type of rig you
want. If your intentions are to have a full coverage HF transceiver, the
Jupiter is the best choice. If you are interested in operating mostly QRP
then seeing what additional mileage you can achieve with the rig go for the
Argo.
I've never had a QRP rig, a Triton, nor a Century 21. What little I have
read about the latter two rigs, if you purchase the Argonaut you'll be
disappointed.
I am well pleased with the performance of my Jupiter.
