Default $135 Sony 7600GR or $370 Grundig 800 or used $210 Sony 2010

I know this question has been asked alot before, but I want to see if
price/performance makes a significant difference in the opinions of
this group.
I'm comparing these three radios to be a tabletop unit (no travel) for
home to upgrade my well worn DX-380 (Sangean ATS-808). I listen to SW
90% and would find the SSB interesting and would like to begin to
search for those hard to find stations, but still rarely. In the past
I have bought a YB400 and ATS 909 and returned them both because the
reception was not much better than the DX-380 with a clip-on wire
antenna.
Given the prices shown, which radio would you buy or would you expect
the reception to not be significantly better than my current setup?
I am leaning towards the 7600 because of: Price, value, quality.
The 2010 seems a great radio, but would be hit and miss on getting a
good used one, and then no guarantee on the length of its life that
would be left.
The Grundig seems to be the best for meeting my needs, but isn't twice
the radio of the 7600, is it?

Please help me decide.
