Default Looking for a Base station

Well I have been in the market for a Base station HF rig. I want a rig that has some size to it, I have 706mkiig and it is a great rig for portable or mobile but to small for a base rig. Most of the new better size HF rigs are a little pricey, I did like the looks and price of the Yeasu FT 950 but didn't like the reviews I read I'm looking hard at the Icom 746 pro like the price, maybe a Kenwood 2000.

I also have been thinking about a used rig might be able to get a high end rig for a good price. I really don't know what are the better used rigs any ideas? My last bigger size rigs were Kenwood TS-520s, and Yeasu FT-101e so as far as used rigs go I don't know what is a good choice and what I should stay clear of. So any ideas are welcome.
