Default ICOM R75 vs Yaesu VR-5000

I use Ham Radio Delux with mine.

Not sure which one to get. Anyone have any hands on experience with
either of these units, especially the Yaesu VR-5000?

Looks like I am going to be able to get one of them soon.

Or should I just save money and get something like a Grundig 750 or
Eton E1 ?



It's really hard to beat the R75 for the money. I don't know much about
the the Yaesu, but what I have heard isn't good. The Grundig and Eton
radios aren't anything close to the Icom at all.
