A real world critical review of the ICOM 7300 seems to indicate that it 
may be OK for casual operation, but not for anything serious, and that 
some of the advertised features aren't all that they're cracked up to be.

The Flex 6500 and 6700 radios are a different animal -- a LOT more 
expensive, but you get what you pay for. With their powerful remote 
control possibilities and the Maestro making a major improvement to the 
user interface, a handful of serious contesters are adopting them, and 
more are likely to follow.
