Last year I put £1000 in a savings account. I expected to trade in my IC-705 for the FTX-1F. To say I was shocked by both the high price and lack of features of the new Yaesu would be an understatement.
My thoughts turned to other rigs. I considered the FT710 (again) and the IC-7300, but decided I would gain very little: 4m is very quiet outside of the Es season and my IC-705 more than does all I need up to 70cms.
So, for now I have decided I do not need anything at all besides what I have.
Should ICOM do a true portable I might reconsider.
