more modular station is much more sensible - not all
in one small box as any breakdown stops all station
activity.
Secondly I prefer a rig that is ergonomic for thick
fingers and dont need to put on glasses to operate.

Your comments?

Agreed. If you have thick fingers and or do not like menus and need
glasses for reading like me then the Kenwood TS-2000 may not be your cup
of tea. The buttons are quite small and a lot of them. The menu is
extensive controlling a lot of features, in addition many of the front
panel buttons are two function meaning you would sometimes have to push
a function button then the button to get into an adjustment such as
adjusting the processor level or mike gain ect.

Offhand I don't know what to recommend. I'm not too familar with the
Yaesu or Icom, perhaps you will get some other comments.
