I'm considering which DSP option to go with - KDSP2 or one of the BHI
noise-eliminating speakers. They're both AF DSP solutions, the cost is
similar, but that's moreorless where the similarities end. I've
attempted to collect the other pros and cons...

BHI:
  Plug in, it works.
  can be used with any radio, not just the k2
  only one control - easy to tweak
  I don't have to build it.
KDSP2:
  I get to build it - satisfy my solder smoke cravings!
  lots of parameters to tweak (is this an advantage?)
  internal - nice and small
  Low current draw (60mA vs BHI's 500mA - ouch!)

... but I've not managed the all-important listening test.

Any of you fine gents tried both, and able to objectively compare?
Obviously the Elecraft Reflector's not the most ideal place for an
unbiased opinion, but hey...   :-)
