[CQ-Contest] Yaesu FT767 in contest environment

[John AA5JG]

Let me preface this question by saying that I don't do computer control of rigs, so computer interfacing is not an issue for me.  I am interested in how the Yaesu FT767 does in a contest environment?  Is it able to handle strong signals well, or does the front end just fall apart?  Also, does the internal tuner work pretty good at loading up almost anything you throw at it?

I have a chance to get a Yaesu Ft767 which has just been checked over and aligned.  I currently have a Yaesu FT450.  Would the 767 be a step up, a step backwards, or about the same performancewise?
