[Heathkit] Heathkits: Rebuild or Homebrew?

[W8KZW]

Lots of great track record here so far on reassembling Heathkits.  Has
anyone ever homebrewed a rig from a Heathkit design?

There's a nice 6146 cw / low level am rig (in the '65 handbook, as I recall)
that I am thinking about building ... (incidentally, has anyone ever built
one of these)?

Alternatively, perhaps I should just homebrew a DX-60?  HG-10?
