Personally, I wouldn't bother with either. I'd save some more and get
an R8B.

I keep seeing them go for $1500+ on Fleabay, and I can't help but find
it hard to believe they're really worth the extra $800-1000 it costs
over an R8A from the same place.

I tend to agree with Mike. There are several refinements in the R8B
that make a significant difference, plus it's probably one of the best
modern investment radios on the market. Buy one, try it out for a few
months, and if you don't fall in love with it (unlikely), you can always
sell it for (probably) more than you paid!
