I am in full agreement. I feel blind without my P3. At a glance I can tell if the band is active or not. For example, last weekend with the DX contest and the wide open 20m, the scope was almost solid in certain spectrums.
I find that I use the subRX if I am getting bored on the 75m net and want someone else to listen to. I also find it useful for tuning in the "+5" ahead of time before leaving the net with someone and making sure that it is available. I am not set up with a separate Rx antenna so I can't comment on how useful diversity Rx is. Bottom line, if I have to choose only one, I would choose the P3.
