Need some advice from someone who has used either/both of these
receivers. I am about to buy one of the two radios and am having a
hard time deciding. The radio's I am comparing are in the following
configuration:

JRC NRD 545 D - Stock - ~ $1800.00

AOR 7030+ (Standard Filters 2.4, 4, 5.5, 9.5)
+ Noise Blanker and Notch Upgrade
+ 500hz Collins Mechanical filter
+ 1.0Khz Murata Data Filter
~ $1815

Opinions?

In either case that is a LOT of money for a shortwave receiver. Are
you really sure your listening habits require you to spend almost
$2,000 on one HF radio? Given that there are many high-end used radios
selling for a fraction of those prices, why not go that way. Chances
are you will hear exactly the same stations.
