Claudio,
I have an FT-1000 and LOVE it. It is a terrific rig and has excellent RX
and filtering capabilities. In addition, the 200 Watt power output is
really nice. Some contests have low power at up to 150 Watts so if you
ever operate low power in contests, you can have an edge over the typical
100 Watt station.
I don't know much about the FT-1000MP except to say that a very good
friend of mine bought one and promptly sold it a week or two later. He
used it in last fall's CQWW contest and didn't like it at all. He said
the RX was really bad and overloaded too easily in heavy QRM situations.
My friend is an excellent contester. The station he operated from set
some new records. He is now looking for an FT-1000. He worked ZL9CI
from my station and couldn't believe how nice the FT-1000's RX was.
On the other hand, some guys really like the 1000MP.
I hope this helps.
73,
Jon
