After re-reading the past dozen posts, it occurs to me that most are 
missing a fundamental point:

DFC/GPU based rigs are nothing more than the next generation of 
transceivers.  Just as carburetors
have been replaced by fuel injection on engines, SDR will totally 
replace discrete transistor/resister/inductor
hardware.  Many of the newer designs from the big 3 are at least partly 
SDR under the hood already.
They all soon will be nothing more than computers/fpgas/GPUs inside, 
interfaced to nice knobs & displays.

In the tradition of "building your own hardware", we have evolved to 
just that: building our own rigs
with current technology.  ALL of these different efforts are useful.  We 
can all do our own thing, and
re-purpose the good ideas of others as we find useful.
