I second that the small screen is more than adequate and the larger screen not necessary for operation.
I like the bigger screen because it is useful when there are observers. I run the GOTA field day station and it is great for training a group.

Having tried a couple other panadapter solutions I found the P3 to be the most reliable with the least amount of hassle. The one shortcoming in my mind is using the tiny knob to QSY... Full mouse support would be welcome. I've found that the small screen works better than anticipated, so have not added the SVGA option. Maybe someday. Another worthy contender is the built in SDRPlay support in Win4K3 Suite. It, too is pretty much plug and play, and gives you the point and click mouse support. I have mine connected to the IF output of the P3, and can use them in tandem when desired.

I found that mediating through a computer using a sound card creates configuration issues and results in occasional operating headaches. By contrast, the P3 is specialized hardware and connection is more reliable and consistent. I spend less time fussing with equipment to make sure it is set up correctly, and more time actually working with the spectrum images on the screen. I have not used a full SDR radio. I did find clicking with a mouse to change frequencies was helpful, but the convenience and reliability of the P3 to me far outweighed computer based panadapter solutions overall. I also appreciate the options available for the P3. I use the SVGA feature and a monitor to enhance audience viewing at my Field Day station. The TX monitor has also been useful in viewing and diagnosing transmission signals as well as better visualizing SWR and power output measurements.
