Default sony icf sw-77 or grundig satellite 800

Dear friends,
I know you are fed up with these kind of "this or that" questions.
But, if you spare a couple of seconds to answer, I'll be very happy. I
searched the archives and other resources from net, i downloaded the
user's manuels of both radios. It seems that satellite has more
specialities but it is unreliable. You have to be lucky if you choose
a satellite800, because, some users say they had unending factory
problems with their product. I live in Istanbul and I will order it
from a friend who lives in US (because it is the half price in US).
But, obviosly, I will have problems with guarentee. So, I need a
stable product. Also, I couldn't decide which radio has better
specialities.
I already have a sony icf 7600D. But, it is not satisfactory for the
purposes i use it. I need a stronger receiver. I want to listen to
the weak local radio stations of central asia and siberia which
usually uses 49 and 60 meter bands. I don't like to listen to the
amateurs. It2s not a pro for me to have a radio with a good ham
receiving abilities.
I know, some of you will advice me table top receivers like icom R75.
But, I don't have more then 500 dollars for this radio.
thank you very much for sparing your valuable time.
regards, oan
