I have been looking at the Yaesu FT450 as a possible rig for the shack as I like its size, features, and price. However, without the QST review or any numbers on Rob Sherwood's webpage, I am kind of in the dark about it performance.  I haven't been able to find much of anything on the internet about how its receiver performs. 

So, has anyone on the list been able to compare the FT450 to some other similar priced rigs on the used market, like a TS570, FT920, Icom 746, FT890, TS450/690?  Those are some rigs I have owned, so it would give me a standard of comparison.  How does the FT450 compare to these other rigs in terms of performance?
