[CQ-Contest] Yaesu FT-1000D or Ft-1000 Mk V/Field for contesting?

[Coker, Timothy J]

Hello, I am in the market for an upgraded radio for contest/dxing purposes.
I currently own a Kenwood TS-850SAT and would like to purchase a new or used
top of the line Yaesu to replace this radio with.

I have the choice of selecting between the following radios:

FT-1000D at a used price $2000-2300 with filters

FT-1000MP Mk V new

FT-1000MP Mk V Field new

I will be taking my radio to other ham shacks to guest op during contests as
I live in an apartment at this time. Occasionally I might want to lug along
a radio when staying in a cabin while camping. I mainly operate SSB but do
CW when handing out points in tests and when chasing DX. Computer
interfacing will be done with Writelog and DX4WIN software.

I'm leaning towards a 1000D based on the advice of a ham friend who I
consider very knowledgeable with various radio lines as he works in the
sales end of ham radio. I would love to hear any suggestions based on your
thoughts between these 3 radios. My emphasis is on contesting capabilities
using SSB and CW to lesser extent. Dxing comes 2nd in my operating habits as
a between contest activity.

Will I miss the DSP features introduced with the MP Mk V line? Or will the
"pinnacle of analogue technology" suffice just fine for contest operation?
The 200 watts output of the 1000D and Mk V seems great, but I'd just as
rather go legal limit if 100 watts doesn't work right off the bat, so I
don't think that the extra power is a huge issue when you've got a linear in
the shack. Any radio I buy will be loaded with filters, in the choice of the
Mark V series it will obviously bring the cost well over the "loaded, used
D"

Thanks a lot for anyone's opinions and thoughts, 73, Tim N6WIN.
