MIke, Don't discount the Alinoc DR-735 - if a nice big screen is high up on your list.
There is also the Kenwood TM-V71A, a good option if you want to run cross band repeat quite regularly. That said, I like my IC-2730 (have two - one for each vehicle) and would buy it again. The Icom software is quite easy to use - no need for Chirp or RT Systems. I home-brewed my cable quite easily.
