While ham transceivers won't have *all* the features of a
top-of-the-line receiver, it will provide solid performance in terms
of dynamic range, sensitivity, selectivity, frequency stability, etc.
Sure, synchronous AM is a nice feature, but is it worth shelling out
$500 to $1000 dollars in addition to what the ham transceiver costs?

That's a good point. Assuming the transceiver has a small enough tuning step
size (or analog fine tuning), synchronous detection can be reasonably
simulated by tuning an AM signal in SSB mode.
