I received a comment last week that the CW (regular CW) decode in
Multipsk was poor when compared to the CW decode ability of MixW.  I
had not really noticed this but today I thought I would do a
comparison.
Below are the results of the test.  I copied a strong signal (S5 on my
meter) at 11 WPM, good fist.  No QRM or QSB.  I tried to match the
squelch settings as best I could, Multipsk's slider was set to '8'.  I
think the MixW squelch was open a tiny bit more since I got a few
random 'E' characters after this guy stopped transmitting,  whereas
Multipsk printed no characters when he signed.  The MixW receive
algorithm was Mixw 1.45

Multipsk:  RI D E TO M OR R OW K EN = S O H W K3FKW DE A W3F AF K

Results:  Seemed about the same to me, but if I take each line and do
a subjective assessment I would say.

Line 1:  MixW better.

Line 2 :  A tie.

Line 3:  Multipsk better (words spaced better)

Line 4:  Multipsk better

Line 5 :  A tie.

Line 6:  Multipsk better (Got callsign of the other station correct . W3FAF).
