I'm a little puzzled by the issue of dual vs. single-lever paddles. I used a bug for almost 20 years then built and used a Iambic Accu-keyer for almost as long before returning to the bug about a decade ago.
I switch a lot between paddles and mechanical keys because paddles, especially the paddles on my KX1, are much more convenient in the field than either a hand pump or a bug. The fact that I'm using dual paddles doesn't seem to make any difference. I have the KXPD1 and a set of original Scotia magnetic paddles. The paddle spacing on the Scotia key is just about the same as either my Speed-X or Vibroplex bug. Of course the 'action' is a lot lighter on the paddles, but isn't that true of all paddles, single or dual-lever?
