[ICOM] Pro 2 vs. 746 Pro

[Jeff Frank]

I'm trying to decide between buying the Pro 2 or the 746 Pro. Read just about everything I could find on the internet about it. Besides the difference in  extra features and price, some technical types have been saying the Pro 2 has a more "bullet-proof" front end against very strong signals than does the 746 Pro. I like working 40 meters (ssb and cw) at night, as well as and some contest activity, so that could be an important factor for me. Does anyone have any experience with both those radios under very strong signal conditions?
