There is no comparison between the 7800 and the display of the P3 or that produced by LP Pan. With the later 2, you have so much detail they are of use, rather than just telling if the band is open.
It depends on what kind of radio operation your undertaking. If you a very serious Dxer or Contester, I agree the sub receiver is the way to go. If you only a casual DXer or Contester, I would pick the P3, softrock or LP Pan.
