I currently have to possibility of swapping my FT-901DM for either a 
vintage FT-980 or an Alinco DX-70T.

This may be an unfair question on a Yaesu-oriented list, but ...

The Alinco is of more recent vintage, runs directly off 12VDC, and is 
physically more portable.

The Yaesu is older and perhaps more prone to tough-to-repair failures 
but may have some features absent from the Alinco.
