Default GE Superadio III vs. Grundig S350

Forget the Analog Tunning and cost on the SR III or the LCD display and
short wave on the Grundig, Simply put, Which of these radios performs
better on AM? Hopefully someone here has had both of these radios to
compare. Thanks.

I have had both of these radios and kept the S350 for its portability
and gave the GEIII away because for some unknown reason I didn't like
it. I also have a GE II which I do like. If I could only have one for
AM listening, I would choose a GE II. If my choice was between a GEIII
and the drifty 350 I would pick the 350. They both seemed to have the
same sensitivity on AM, more or less, but the sound quality is better
with the GE. The GE is rather a pain to cart around, being big and
heavy, and I find the 350 quite convenient in that respect. The battery
drain on the GE is very low but it plugs in to the AC. Actually, I took
no pleasure in the GEIII but I have found the 350 to be trouble-free
and handy, but I still use the GEII quite often. If you can find a good
GEII on ebay or some such, that is the one I would pick. Actually, I
hated the GEIII : it had a sort of clockwork orange quality about it
that drove me nuts.
