I've heard various model Kenwoods on the bands in various modes and they always sounded good to me. I know there's a lot of TS2000's in service out there. Hope folks won't mind expressing there opinions and experiences on these two radios.

I believe the 2000 has a 16 bit analog AF stage dsp.
The 7000 has dual 32 bit AF/IF stage dsp's, granted one is for the display.
Having run both radios I would say that the 7000 wins hands down, however there is what a 10 year technological gap between the two radios. Dont get me wrong the 2000 is a great radio and does have a few advantages over the 7000, size, sky command, and wattage. Then the 2000 has its flaws as well, for example it is deaf on 2m 70cm without the preamp on, unless you are really close or have one heck of an antenna. Which ever you choose you will be happy with the overall performance.
I have a question though, why replace the 910?
