I will give you my honest opinion.
A friend of mine owned a FT 950 - he had cancer and I had several options for buying it and didn't.
It had some issues and I was not real impressed with it.
If you are frustrated using the 897 - you will not like the FT 950 - because it is kind of hard to operate. Even with that - it is not a very good transceiver.

I have heard stories of people who bought one for contesting, went to a contesting station and then the receiver overloaded and burned up.
Some people have said that there is a option that you can choose internally which adds extra filtering to the receive to try to keep from burning up the front end of the radio.
So I am not going to dwell too much on it right now.

When I did buy a new transceiver, my first choice was the Kenwood TS 590S
I was told by the local radio experts to buy it.
They went so far as to say that if I bought it and did not like it, they would buy it off me for every penny that i paid for it.
I bought it off of BOB - ham radio outlet - Delaware, and was delivered in about 2 days. The US Mail here takes about 3 days to deliver a simple post card so I was impressed with the speed of delivery.
I took it out of the box and being electrically inclined, proceeded to put it together. Connect the mic, the external speaker, the antenna coax, the power supply cord.
I turned on the power supply and the transceiver and to operate, all I had to do was push the tune button for the autotuner, turn the transmit power up to 100 watts - I think it was set on 50, and turn the mic gain up to 90, it was on about 40.

I will give you one piece of advice.
Take a black marker, or if you own a label maker - make labels for each port on the back of the transceiver. WHY?
Because the back of the radio is WHITE and the letters are not stenciled for the description of each port. I have poor eyesight and I accidentally connected the antenna to port 2 and was trying to operate on port 1.
You have the selection of two separate antenna's and I didn't realize that the one in the middle of the transceiver was for antenna 1 - and it was a honest mistake, but the radio folded back its power and nothing was damaged.

IN the stock position, with the stock mic, I made about 100 contacts and each contact said I had excellent audio. You can modify the factory stock position and you can listen to your audio - what the CB'rs calls talk back.
You don't have to buy any filters - the DSP and filters can be adjusted.

If you can push a button and understand 14 equals 20 meters, and 28 equals 10 meters - you can operate this transceiver without ever having to read the owners manual. The hardest part is operating in 60 meters because you have to manually tune it to 5 mhz and you have to program it to operate on the proper channel - since there is only about 5 channels in which you can operate and you have to be very careful not to be too wide because there is specifications that you have to maintain in order to operate there. And you are allowed to operate with the full 100 watts now - so this transceiver is the only transceiver you will ever need.

The down side is - you need to have a separate transceiver in your shack for 2 meters and 440 MHz - because it does not operate on those bands.

One piece of advice is - unless you want to only talk on 20 meters - do not try to use a G5RV. A G5RV is only resonant on 20 meters. It WILL NOT tune up with the autotuner on 40, 80, or 10!
Don't even try it!

I am NOT familiar with the ICOM 7200 - and I do not speak four letter words.
My experience is limited to the ICOM 746 Pro and I was pleased with it, but every person I know who bought one, sooner or later had a problem with the display burning up. That was related to the transistor that drove the bulb, which did not have a heat sink. The people who turned the display up the whole way, or turned the display down the whole way did not have any problems with it. But the ones who drove it half way between bright and dim did.

Instead of ICOM having a recall and updating the transistor and installing a heat sink for it and admitting they had a problem, they just sold people new displays and told the customers they did not know of any problem.
Changed the design of the circuit board and changed the model number and started producing them again.

This in my opinion is dirty pool.
Like milking your neighbors cow!
If you think about how many transceivers they sold in good faith and how many people have had problems with them and how much money each owner has spend just in service and shipping to fix their mistake - you could have bought a better transceiver in the first place when you bought the 746 Pro and not had that problem.

Its been my experience that the Kenwood people are the ones that has their act together and they have excellent customer service - most times if I have a question, I can email them and have a answer in about 3 hours and if there is a mistake made - they will make it right, and they do not charge you for their mistakes.... That in my book makes it the gold standard of $1700.00 transceivers.....

The Kenwood TS 590 does as many things well as the Ten Tec Orion...
The Orion is a $3300.00 transceiver...
