You might want to consider getting a T-4XB instead, especially if you plan to use it on SSB.
Functionally, the T-4X is identical to the B and C versions.
Only "con" about the T-4X is that it has 4 pole SB filters rather than the 8 pole versions used in the B and C versions. They do generate some junk on the opposite sideband and close to the carrier.
This should not necessarily be a "deal breaker", but it does mean slightly lower carrier suppression and more spurious "junk" around an SSB signal. It would not be very neighborly to drive a linear amplifier with it. The X is spec'd at ">40 dB above 750 Hz" while the B and C are spec'd at ">60 dB" for sideband suppression. This is of no concern for CW.
From the front panel, the only difference is that the B has fewer calibration marks on the main tuning dial, black overprinting on the "above the belt" lettering, (making it readable!,), and slightly different main tuning knob.
Personally I would hold out for a B version.
