I've been looking closely at the IC-7300 myself. It comes highly recommended by 
a couple of people I trust. The only thing I don't like about it is that it 
doesn't have a separate receive antenna port when I need for 160M.
I see the TS-590SG does not have a band scope but the '7300 does. I think 
that's a very valuable feature to have in a radio. If the '590 has an external 
IF output (like the TS-870) then you can create a band scope on your PC using 
an inexpensive SDR. But so far I can't find where it does.

The Kenwood TS590SG and ICOM IC-7300 radios are frequently listed as the
best you can get without spending Elecraft money, and if I had the money to
burn I'd probably have one of them.
