[CQ-Contest] Which would yor choose?

[Mike Ritz]

If all three are the same price I would pick the FT-3000, only because it is newer, and has a better receiver than the FT-2000. The FT-2000 with the low band u-tune filters would be the second choice, based on ergonomics (which is important in contesting). The receiver is not quite as good as the FT-3000, and the technology is older. 

Of course, the FT-2000 has dual receivers, which the FT-3000 does not. That may be an impact, but only if the second receiver is important to you. 

The third choice would be the FT-1200, only because it's a watered down FT-3000.
