I love my Flex-3000 but mechanical relay on a CW rig is a terrible idea to me. The Flex-1500 does CW well on a tuned computer system. If you have latency problems you will not like it. If your computer underpowered or you can't tune your system you'll have problems.
You are not hearing from all the people who have no CW issues or have given up on the list due to a high signal noise ratio. I love my FlexRadio rigs and would not part with them for anything but I am not a CW op.
