What new radio is comparable to a Drake R8 ?

Also a good deal - the Icom IC-7000 - no synch detection but has
continuously variable SSB and AM bandwidth - the AM bw is adjustable
from 200hz - 10 kHz - and it sounds great in AM at the wide bandwidth.

That's a DSP filter, way after when a narrow filter helps reception.
Does nothing for desense or intermod.
True. But I only said it sounded great at the wide bandwidth like a
Drake R-8. I would not recommend it for CW reception. It does have a
sensitive receiver and rates about the same in filter rejection as the
Yaesu FT-2000 in Sherwood's list. At under $1300 it is not a bad deal
considering you get the transmitter included.
