Subject: [ICOM] Backup ICOM Radio

I am looking for an ICOM HF transceiver as a base station backup for my
IC-756 Pro III.

I would like to stay under $1500.  My first thought was a new IC-746 Pro,
but then I started thinking about all of the used 761, 781, 775 radios out
there (which I know absolutely nothing about).

So I guess my questions boils down to this:  what is the best (in terms of
performance and reliability) ICOM HF transceiver I can buy, new or use, for
$1500 or less?

All suggestions and discussion appreciated.

73, Dick
