[Yaesu] FT77 on its way, opinions?

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

I just made a deal to get a Yaesu FT77, and should hopefully have it in the shack late next week.  I have always wanted one of these since they came out when I was in High School, but just never had the chance to get one until last summer when I had one briefly but just played around with it a little.  I did work Albania on it!  Now this one will be my main HF rig in the shack.  Does anyone have any opinions, tips, or things like that about this rig.  I know it is a very basic HF rig, but still looks like fun.
