Vladimir.
Will put in my two  bits.
I have the 775 DSP with all the filters etc.,also the 765 with the  proper 
filters.
I bought the PRO II about two years ago,and never  regretted it.
I only operated the PRO III for about 3 weeks (loaner).
The  one thing you have to remember is that the PROII and certainly the 
PROIII  have DSP units many generations better than the 775 DSP.(engineering 
doesn't  stop at Icom)
All units are very good units by the way,however I plan to  possible sell the 
775DSP in the near future.
My PROII sounds great,not  metallic to me.
Even if the PROII would sound sounds metallic I would accept  that,the 
advantages of the DSP functions on the PROII are tough to  beat.
Regards.

Vladimir, you'll love the 761. I have a 761, an original 756PRO, I carried  
back from Tokyo and a 745. I do lots of A/B/C comparisons with the same  
antenna.
What a lot of people don't realize is that the differences between radios  in 
the last couple of years are INCREMENTAL. There won't be a HUGE difference.  
If you want that, go compare a Hallicrafter S-120 to a PROIII!
