Yes I agree. "Easy is a very subjective word.

I use the word TDR to refer to the instrument. When I measure S21 I of
course perform a TDT measurement.

Basically in my modeling, I oftentimes am interested in greater
bandwidth than that required of the channel to pass most of the energy
in the signal. Therefore I am typically dealing with much greater loss
than a practical channel offers at the Nyquist frequency of the signal.
To perform such measurements I have had to resort to increasing the
power in the stimulus. I do agree that for many measurements the TDR has
good enough dynamic range.
