Eric,

The KX3 from Elcraft would be my choice (if I had the $).  73,

It appears that the only real option for voice, CW, and data is going to be the FT-817 or one of the way-more-expensive Elecraft rigs.  I might try to pick up one of the Norcal transceivers as I've always wanted to play with one.
