Thanks for the feedback, Geoff!

I can see, intuitively, an advantage of doing the switching in the more
predictable environment of the L.O. chain instead of the signal path with
who-knows-what coming along the bandpass and feeding relatively high-gain
amplifiers after it! Especially when you're already providing a switching
square wave as the L.O. signal itself.

It reinforces my long-standing belief that mixers produce bizarre
environments, electrically, not much unlike what Alice found down the rabbit
hole!
