Thanks for the input guys.

Looking at them, they are very similar. Thats why im hoping someone out there has some actual experience with one or the other just so i can get a "feel" for one over the other. I havent found both of them locally so i havent handled either one yet. I'll probably hold of until i can at least do that.

I havent decided on antenna set-up yet. Im driving a toyota tundra step-side with a cap on the bed. Ive got planned a couple antennas mounted on the hood area for the scanner and HAM and am considering something bumper mounted for the CB. I don't want to stick up too far past the cap, hence the hood mounted stuff and looking at bumper mounted solutions for CB. I can (and will) spend the money for a decent antenna. Im open to any insight long those lines as well.

SSB? maybe, but my primary concern with the CB is to keep it relatively stealth. I like the two models i mentioned as I can get the "cable kit" and permanently mount that in both my truck and the wifes car. Id keep the radio in my truck most of the time but when we go on a trip, i can just plug the radio in her car and use a mag mount antenna on the trunk.

If thre i a good SMALL ssb model out there thats worth looking at, i will consider it. is there a handheld version out there somewhere??

Thanks for the input guys!
