[ICOM] opinions needed

[Renee]

I have decided to give up my 706Mark2G due to the issue with 
the finals. I was wondering what does everyone think about 
new vs old radios for reliability and repair? I need to get 
something to replace the 706 but not sure which way to go 
now. Another "all in one rig" or a couple separate radios 
for HF/6 and VHF/UHF?
Any thoughts, opinions, insights would be greatly appreciated.
