Bob,
having no doubts about the fact that you will enjoy SO2R (so that the purchase
of a second rig is not just to 'give it a try'), I would tend to favor
identical rigs or very similar , like the 756 pro series for instance, where
you have the same commands on both radios and a swap would not throw you out of
balance. Other than that it's just a matter of taste, ten ops...ten different
opinions...
Good luck and good fun with your new SO2R venture.
