from my previous post on page 2 ---
When the 3000 came out I bought one, no justification required. When the 6700/6500 announcement was made I decided I wanted one. I put my order in on the first August and there was no justification needed. It is my money.

In 3 months this ratio should still be close.

P.S. It is still my money.

Hi All,
   Do you think anyone dare to ask this question of an Icom 7800 owner that shelled out $12,300 (current AES Price) or an owner of a Yaesu 9000MP at $11870 (AES Price)? I have friends that own the Icom 7800 and an Icom 756 Pro III in the shack and no one questioned them, it is more like a Wow what a station.
   I saw the problems with the 5000 and decided not to buy one. When the 3000 came out I bought one, no justification required. When the 6700/6500 announcement was made I decided I wanted one. I put my order in on the first August and there was no justification needed. It is my money and I wanted it. This thread is worn out and only serves as a place for unhappy Flex-5000 owners to vent.
