I cannot advise you on what to do - but: In my mind, the 7300 is 
affordable and first class (so says Sherewood). It is all in one box 
with a good display and does everything an HF rig should do without the 
need of expensive addons (100 Watts, auto tune, SWL coverage, filters). 
It has been out long enough that it's bugs, quirks, and bad habits are 
all known. It does not have a K-Pod or extensive macro system (for 
external rig control). That said, my next purchase will be an IC-7300.
