I also use the Airspy HF+ Robert. I haven't made the intensive comparisons that you have, as I no longer have a "box" radio. I'm very pleased with the HF+ and can say it works very well. On 2200m meters, I'm avoiding having to use a preamp with my Loopstick on that band with HF+. It offers enough gain to side-step that situation. About the SDR Console... Perhaps you don't have the noise problems here that I do, so I've done a fair amount of comparisons between 3 software programs, the SDR Console... the native software with my other sdr device... the 16 bit Elad-FDM-S2, and also HDSDR in relation to the effectiveness of their noise reducing abilities. For single channel rx'ing, I've found HDSDR the best in the noise reduction/blanking capabilities, next was the software for the Elad, the least effective was Console. It just isn't up to the noise reduction job. I also don't like the fact that you can't set "notches" in Console. Unfortunately, HDSDR doesn't do more than one channel at a time. For doing split rx'ing, I use the Elad software. My onservations on noise are just empirical, I don't have any test equipment to make hard data, but I see the results in the wspr2 decode numbers.
