Hey Scott,
As with everything, it depends on what you want to do. I own both a
7300 and a 991, and I can tell you that if you only want it to do HF and
don't have a need for portability, I'd go with the 7300 all day long.
The reason is simple: ease of use. Sure, you can learn all of Yaesu's
complicated menus or constantly flip through your Nifty Guide, but the
7300's layout and operation is just so much more intuitive. Add the
outstanding customizable screen/waterfall, and it's a slam dunk (for
me). I'm not a contester, so I have no need for the superior receiver
in the DX10 (not that it wouldn't be nice, hihi).
In fact, I like the Icom HF interface so much that I recently bought an
IC-705. And even though it doesn't have an internal tuner and only puts
out 10W, I can't see a time when I'll break out the (also
shack-in-a-box) 991 again, except to sell it. The 705 is just so much
more fun to operate.
And I'm a long-time Yaesu guy. 😮
Best wishes, and have fun.
