[ICOM] Need Advice About IC-7800 (To buy or not to buy)

[Aidehua at aol.com]

I'm thinking about unloading most of my HF rigs to fund the purchase of an  
Icom IC-7800.  I've already decided to sell of the 781, 775 and the  756Pro.  
But I hesitate to get rid of my pristine Yaesu FT-1000D.   Love that radio, but 
wondering if I'll gain anything by keeping it, rather than  putting that $2k 
more towards my ultimate purchase.  Just hoping that the  7800 works just as 
well as the Yaesu on the lowbands.  Your input is  greatly appreciated.
