Default DX-100 or Apache?

The Apache by itself does not have SSB capability. For that, you also
need the SB-10 Sideband Adapter. I had both but sold them years ago.

Well, the Apache will send SSB, which is a good feature to have, whereas
the DX-100 won't. On the other hand, the DX-100 is much simpler, as a result.

But I would pick whichever of the two is factory-wired. If they were both
built as kits, I'd pick the one that has the best-looking solder joints.
