Check out the Yaesu ft-450d also, it has variable power and 6 meter.
Go back to page 3, post 40 and read what I said there, then look at the Yaesu 450d or Icom 718 or look at the used market.
Most people including myself would take the Yaesu over the Icom.
I love my FT450D. MY Optima was a grand rig but I sold it, the RCI2970n4 was ok but was what is was. FT450D, and Sirio 5000 trucker on Breadlove 4in. mount or with my 102 whip work very well. I would say to anyone FT450D is the best rig I have had. I did a set up with my 11 meter delta loop (full wave) yesterdat after noon, and had a grand time Australia was open to me for almost 4 hours. I had 21 contacts at 50w usb, and some lsb. I know its going to be hit or miss for sometime to come but the FT450D is a grand rig. Buy one if you can.

most of it sounded like local talk and would roll in real good and id grab on. I was at almost 5000ft. and was getting the best dx with the bambi ( full wave loop) 30ft up
i have both the kenwood ts 2000 and the yaesu 450d both fantastic radios.
just my opinion.

An ft 1200 just sold for under $700 on flebay. There's another with a few hours left and is currently under $700. I purchased my ft 950 for $580. Everyone responding with advice to stay away from "10" meter transceivers is spreading the gospel. I wish I'd known then what I know now. So many newbies wast money on junk only to come to the realization that a good used hf will out perform any mono bander black box cb radio. I don't have my ticket but enjoy using my yaesu as a ham radio receiver. And if I ever decide to get my ticket I'm ready to roll. Not to mention that most of them are easily mars modified. 73
I have been working some dx on ten, it has slowed down a lot but it is still there if you run through the band during the day.
It has favored mexico/central america last few days from here.

Sure there is some dx still.But conditions will continue to decline for the next 4 years or so.So unless you have a very active local group 10m only rig might not be a good investment.
