Welcome to the dark side, indeed.

Those of us who live in the "middle" and especially those of us who live 
in suburban neighborhoods would never see the ever-so slight sensitivity 
advantage of an AOR 7030+. The AOR 7030+ and the Drake R8B have another 
intangible in their favor, they just sound "amazing"--and are easy to 
listen to for hours.

But I think price has to also be considered in the equation. You can 
purchase a brand new Elad FDM-S2 for $539, while the AOR 7030+ is 
selling for $1,500 on ebay. Buy the Elad, a decent sound card and 
speakers for your computer--and enjoy the fact that you've made a smart 
decision--and your DXing will never suffer.

And no conventional receiver will ever be able to record raw I/Q of the 
entire AM band overnight, effectively allowing you to "preserve" an 
opening for years to come. I recorded a lot of the recent auroral 
conditions, and happily spent hours during the middle of the day 
reviewing them already. Try that with an AOR 7030+.
