That's why I've always termed this option as the "180 kHz" option rather than 
Elecraft's "150 kHz" characterization.

There's a lot more Morse activity above 7120 kHz.  To me, that's more than 
worth the additional VFO span.

You mentioned having changed out the 30m hetrodyne crystal, which I assume 
means that your 30m band tuning now starts near 10 MHz.  Reducing VFO span to, 
say, 125 kHz will mean that you'll only be able to cover about the first 20 kHz 
of the 30m band.
