For receive only there is also Perseus. It is about the same price as
the SDR-14. You can see the radio and read about some real world
performance from the following links:

I see this as more than an either or. Softrock and Genesis are more
entry level kits, each with their own following. Then there is
Flexradio. The Flex3000 is small enough to be portable and the 1500
comes in at a pretty decent price. But at the end of the day, what are
you planning on accomplishing? I like the Perseus or the SDR-IP for
receive and experimentation. Overall I like the Flex but for low cost
backpacking and QRP both Softrock and Genesis are attractive. You can
join the various Yahoo groups if you have not already to get a better
feel for these different technologies.
