Has anyone any experience of both the Kenwood TS-940SAT and Yaesu FT-ONE?

I was looking for a  Kenwood TS-940SAT but could not find what I wanted, so 
bought a Yaesu. Sod's law says as soon as I found an FT-ONE, so I also found a 
Kenwood TS-940SAT. So now I have both rigs on order.

I'd just be intersted if anyone has had the chance to compare them. As far as I 
can see, the TS-940S sold for a lot less than the FT-ONE, although they were 
available at about the same time.

But used prices for the Kenwoods tend to be higher, as the FT-ONEs are said to 
drift quite a bit.

I'm just interested in the opinions on others.

I guess at some point I'll be able to form my own opinion, but the TS-940SAT is 
coming from the USA so will take some time to get here, and the seller of the 
FT-ONE does not exactly hurry himself up, so its anyones guess when I'll get 
that. I would not be surprised if the one from the US arrives before the one 
from the UK!
