Have you looked at splatter for these rigs? I don't know about these 
models specifically, but other recent vintage Yaesu rigs have had awful 
splatter, as heard/measured on my K3/P3/SVGA. Any time I tune SSB, I see 
QSOs where some stations are nice and clean and others are splattering 
only 20 dB down on both sides of their signal. And when I've talked to a 
few of those ops with dirty signals, they've been barefoot Yaesu rigs, 
or the splatter was still there when they turned off their amp.
