Back in "The old Days" before arthritis (and age) when I operated about 
90% CW and comfortably over 30 wpm that would have been the rig for me, 
but "now days", although I do  a lot of building in the shop and built a 
lot of my equipment in days past, I'm now pretty much an appliance 
operator and appreciate the finer points of the 'does *almost* 
everything except cook breakfast" rigs.

Now days the construction is welding up tower bases and building gin 
poles.  They may be heavy and not all that pretty,  but they work.
