I've owned a Kenwood TM-D700 for about two weeks, and find it is a very fine and amazing mobile. It's feature-rich, so it takes quite a bit of time with the manual to extract the full value of the radio, but having a TNC and display integrated with the radio makes mobile operations so much easier.

I don't have to haul out the laptop from the home, hook up the audio cables to the radio, work the ISS, then disconnect everything and put it away. I just turn on the radio, press a few buttons, and I'm contacting the ISS. So, I have more opportunities to contact the ISS in between my daily routines.
