I am using PRO-3 as a primary Radio since January 2005.
I bought it after I read the comments from Don, AA5AU.
I am happy to have a decoder there, it is a good backup, sometime MMTTY can't
help much.
Also that TPF feature is good I set it up as Don described and never change
it since.
Just be carefull, when you connect PRO-3 with older Amplifier, I did blew it
up when I connected Radio to Kenwood TL-922.
Then I fixed it and bought Ameritrone interface, it works very good after
that.

My RTTY contesting rig is the ICOM 756PRO. It also has built-in RTTY
decoding (but no direct TX support).
I use the RTTY decode screen as a back-up decoder, and was pleasantly
surprised to find that it usually outperforms my other TUs (I use
MMTTY plug-in with Writelog). On really difficult sigs, I sometimes
have to read the exchange from the 756 and type it into WL.
A friend across town has a 756PRO3. He has never had a RTTY Q in 50
years on the bands, but often "reads the mail" on his rig's RTTY decode screen.
