John,

I have owned a 746Pro and a 756ProIII and both were excellent cw radios. 
They performed very well in strong signal, very crowded conditions. I 
used both in 160 meter contests (very noisy, very strong/weak signals, 
very crowded band) without issue.  I have used (slightly) better radios 
in that regard, but the difference is typically negligible. Also, you 
cannot beat the ergonomics, reliability, and ease of operation. Those 
radios are a pleasure to use.
