Replace Legacy Radios Yaesu FT-891

Nice concise video. I'm looking for my first "new" HF rig. I have a mid 1990s Icom 737 that has taught me a lot, and the price was right.
I would like nicer receive/DPS/filtering, and the portable size sounds really appealing.

Portability aside, how does this radio compare to the FT-450D? They are within $20 of each other, cover the same bands/modes. I imagine the FT-891 has improve RX.
Also, the FT-450D includes a built-in tuner. Because of my compromised antenna system in my small suburban lot, and lousy band conditions I mainly work digital modes like PSK31 and JT65.


 ANSWER ::
Having the new FT-891 has been great! It, being some 10 years newer than my FT-857D I can tell a difference in how it sounds, tunes, etc.
