I don't find it hard to believe. That little Sony took the tuner world by storm a few years ago. It has RF specs as good, or better than my McIntosh MR-78. Sound quality is another matter though. Edit: I own the Sony XDRF1HD too, before anyone asks.The point is that tuner technology has come a long way, and you can get a lot of RF performance in a very small package.
I'm like you though. I still prefer a "full sized" tuner.

... the 47 does. Three sections -- that's not a recipe for high performance .

I hadn't given the variable capacitor much thought, admittedly, with regard to performance differences between the two.
I also agree with you regarding the point you make in another post in this thread, regarding some attention being paid to FM by a current manufacturer. It's nice to see.
Maybe not for dx'ing but a lot of very excellent sounding tuners including I think at the time all or almost all tube tuners use the 3-ganger. More is not necessarily "better". For instance with most tuners, the more I.F. stags usually detracts from the sound while adding to marketing driven specs.
