Two years later my IC-7800 was collecting dust so I sold it now use my Flex transceiver pretty much exclusively, although I do also own a IC-7300.
I purchased a Flex-6700 but also kept my IC-7800 because I wasn't 100% convinced yet that I wanted to shed the 'knob & button' type rigs. Cost was a bit over $1,000 plus shipping/insurance costs both ways. I only had to send my IC-7800 back for repair once for a board replacement.
And since this is a very heavy transceiver, shipping and insurance to ship it back for repair can be costly, and repairs can also be costly. Also the IC-7800 has limited spectrum display settings, although this issue wasn't apparent until I purchased a Flex 6xxx series transceiver. First, it's display always seemed too dim (even with settings turned all the way up). It performed excellent for its day, with almost lab test instrument precision.
