[Elecraft] OT: Internal keyer in TS-480

[Dave, G4AON]

I have a K1, K2, K3 and TS-480SAT. I always use the internal keyers in 
them and find no issues with the way they key, Elecraft and Kenwood 
internal keyers seem very similar to me. I use Iambic B with a weight of 
1 (from the K3 menu in front of me). The only radios that I've had an 
issue with were the FT-857D which lacks a decent internal keyer and a 
TS-570 which had a keyer timing issue - Kenwood knew about the 570 
keying issue for some time prior to mine being manufactured but still 
produced defective radios needing a return to the importer to have it 
updated...

I use a Palm Mini paddle for portable operating and used their Code Cube 
keyer with the FT-857D, however the Code Cube is not used, or needed, 
with my current Elecraft or TS-480 radios.

Is this just a matter of different operators having different keyer
preferences, or is there something unusual about the Kenwood internal
keyer?
