I am considering this rig next as my next purchase; was wondering if anyone can offer an opinion based on personal experience?

I know a fellow ham that has the FT-950 and he has the display screen with his rig and could display audio scope and band scope and a whole bunch other things. I was very inpressed. I did get to use it for hour and i didint push any buttons though,(Didint want mess what i doint know about). Did do some CW and Usb and all gave me a 5/9 report. Been a Kenwood fan for a long time (old 520 ts) my upgrade is a Icom 728 doint have all the bell and whisles the ft-950 has. When i seen the ft-950 and his screen im thinking $5000. I didint ask him? I liked it ! Wish i could buy one, In fact that would be my next radio im thinking. I know i didint help much. But thats all i know!
