Yaseu ft450d or icom ic7200?

A good friend has let me use an icom 728 that is in great shape. He may have a rough time getting it back lol. It's a nice radio!!
 
Never had the IC-7200 but I owned an early model FT-450. I liked it. Nice receiver and good xmit audio, easy to operate. BUT, the main CPU unit failed 3 days after the warranty expired. I fought with Yaesu on it but they finally did the repair under warranty. A bunch of the early run 450's experienced the failure and fortunately other hams were posting about it on the forums. That helped my case with Yaesu.

I understand the "D" model is improved in several ways.
