[Elecraft] comparing P3, LP-Pan, SDRPlay, others?

[Clay Autery]

Never used an LP-Pan, but it appears to be a sweet instrument and lots
of folks like it.

I have a P3 w/ SVGA option (will add TXMON soon).

IMHO, a panadapter is no longer optional.  I use it every time I am on
the radio...  regardless of the band.

I use it to monitor a band segment when running a net.  Use it to find
signals when DXing, et al.  Use it for weak signal work (the screen is
better than my ears).

Use it for all kinds of stuff...

I realize I am probably trying to compare apples to oranges but how do these stack up against each other? Can anything  besides the P3 be used to point and click for QSY? I think the P3 lends itself to my rudimentary comfort level with computers but I do have good tech support in my wife. That said, fire away....
