Default Ft-817nd

Has anyone used the Yaseu FT-817ND? I was toying with the idea of getting one for portable QRP work during day trips, vacations away from regular ham gear and possibly cruises. Originally I just wanted a good SW reciever for listening away from the shack, but the good ones are almost as expensive as the 817. This way, I can always try som 2.5W CW or SSB. Also, what would be a decent, small, portable antenna to use with the 817? I've read a few comments on the MFJ-1899T and it looks promising. GigaParts has a good price on the 817 now and I'm thinking of taking advantage of it. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful.
