Hi Rob,
Yes, the Big Three are in a different league, but time will tell.
Seems you have a big shopping list...
I have dipped in and out of radio for many years, mainly because of moving around a lot with work.
I'm now likely to be where I am for the foreseeable future so I'm starting up again.
I was looking for weeks at what to get, "The Big Three" and at the New SDR type radios.
In the end I decided on an "ELAD FDM-DUO", Gives me a standalone radio, and SDR Capabilities.
If I want higher power, I can always add an external Amplifier at some stage in the future.

It's working very nicely with FLRIG & FLDIGI on LL2.2
I did initially have an issue with USB/CAT port till I found I needed to:
I'm going to give WSPR a try over the weekend
GL at the Hamfest, hope you find what you want.
