Posted on ExPo also- I thought this was too good of a deal to keep to myself. It is on sale at gigaparts here and after rebates, it's 279 (plus there is a summer discount code for additional $10 off). I have had the Yaesu 2900r but never found a mounting option to my standards in my LC 100 because the 2900 is so big. So I've been planning on getting the 7900r but found this ICOM and I just pulled the trigger a few minutes ago. Seems like this has features that put it somewhere in between the 7900 and 8900 but because it comes with the mounting bracket, it will end up being cheaper than the 7900. If I'm being honest, I went with it because I like the bigger screen and color of the display. Plus I read good things about it.
When I get it and eventually install, I'll post up my impressions (from a novice's perspective).
