That still doesnt answer the question of why on Suitsat 2 they should fly a digital transponder.

Actually, it does, you said the reasons yourself.

In my view better engineering doctrine would imply that we try and put the digital transponder ON ISS and let it "cook" there for a bit.

Yup, that would be ideal, I'm nominating you to head that project. This is right up your alley, as since you and your friends within the JSC can navigate the political process easily. Lets run this in tandem with the ARISSSat project.

Thanks for volunteering!
