While I agree with your assesments of the 756 Pro series being superior, I 
wonder where you have been shopping. I have never seen a Pro II sell in the 
1200-1400 price range. If you will check the boards now, they are going for 
1650-1700. Quite a difference! Now if the original gentleman doesnt have any 
financial restrictions then certainly that would be a good radio to 
consider. For value even the plain 756 pro would be a great buy (they are 
still in the 1150-1200 range). Since you have two pro II's, would you be 
willing to take 1200 for one????

If money is the issue,why not look for an Icom 765 with the FL-44a and FL-80 
installed, or an Icom 775 (possible one with DSP).
They are both excellent radios,and prices are reasonable.
My two bits.
