I have a Grundig Satellit 800 coming my way, and some of my fellow
ham radio friends are trying to convince me that I've made some kind
of mistake.

The AOR 7030 is darnedably expensive, but I did have a question as to
performance characteristics and enhancements. Is there a shortwave
radio superior to the AOR 7030? Just for curiositie's sake, is there
such a radio that IS more superior, if money were no object? Or is
there one superior in quality that is actually less expensive?

Is there perhaps a website that has a fairly independent review of
these radios, and makes comparisons?

Any help greatly appreciated.

(I do know of radio netherlands, and universal radio.)

You can't go wrong with a Drake R8B. I own a Ten-Tec RX340, Drake R8B
and an AOR7030+. If I had to sell two I would keep the Drake.
