Seriously consider the Elecraft K2: http://www.elecraft.com/

The basic K2 is already at low power levels (10w) so you aren't paying for 
big finals you aren't using - not to mention the world-class receiver specs 
- follow the "Rig Comparisons" link on the Elecraft site to the table of 
ARRL test results.

Down East Microwave has some products to support the K2 with transverters:
