Default New Base/Mobile for RV/QTH?

I am expecting year-end performance bonuses and tax returns soon, and I need to upgrade my operating station in the motorhome/QTH. I currently have only an IC-28A 25 watt mid 80s model mobile vhf radio. I also have a an FT-7800 uhf/vhf with the vhf receiver side toasted. So I have been shopping for a new dual band radio.

After quite a bit of shopping, I decided if I was going to spend some money, I might as well find an all-mode all-band HF/VHF/UHF rig that will meet my needs. I am really liking the IC-7000. My wife and I are really liking Icom products for their durability and intuitave ease of use. I also carry an Icom T-7H handy-talkie, and we have an Icom 208 in the toad/stormchase vehicle.

I have read all of the reviews of the IC 7000, and I was wondering if any of you had any thoughts that maybe I hadn't considered.

Ain't it purdy!!!???
