Being an IC-701 owner, I have heard that the IC-751 has much more rugged
finals.  The Dallas repair center for Icom tested the 751 key down for
an hour - and they told me the only finals they have replaced were in a
rig hit by lightning!  (in contrast - the 701 has a terrible record on
the finals)  The 701 has 150W transistors vs 290W for the 751 and 745.

Have not heard anything bad about the 751 and have worked a few on the
air and the owners seem very pleased.
