[TenTec] Orion II vs Icom 2300

[denton sprague]

After many years of using various TT gear, I have been looking at an IC 2300.
I currently run either a TT Orion II or an Omni 7.  Both have done the job well for me but its about time to move onto more recent technology.
Has anyone done side by side comparison between an Orion and an IC 7300? I am hearing impaired so receiver clarity is paramount. 
I am not a contester, but want do do some ssb work mostly on 160 and 80 meters.
I have read most of the online reviews and the Sherwood site’s rig comparison. 
Thanks in advance de Denton WB7TDG.
