The FT-710 is a very good rig; the receiver is even better than the IC-7300. I settled on the latter because I'm not a contester, my limiting factor is my antenna and I liked the user interface better. YMMV.
On edit: Also, at the time I bought it the Icom was less expensive.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Well damn. Less money than Mrs U paid for a new 706 2g back then.
I hope you get the rig at the new price

Moving on, my posts are not helpful
And it connects directly to a monitor.
[edit]: Something kept telling me to hold off. Maybe, this is the rig. I don't care about contesting. Biggest thing is receiver for this OF.
The direct connect to a monitor is a huge plus though :)

I'm kinda surprised that monitor connections haven't become commonplace sooner... ("they don't support VGA!")

And you can plug a mouse right into it. I could literally lay in bed and control the rig.
So, it's a computer that just happens to identify as a radio.

These days, when it comes to new rigs... don’t they all?

It's just nice to see SDR more and more in the mainstream of AR.
