I got the following results on my inquiry:
10 recommended FT-1000MP
5 recommended TS-850(SAT)
4 recommended IC-765
3 recommended TS-990
2 recommended IC-756
1 recommended each:
FT-847, IC-746, TS-930, TS-940, TS-950SD.
I got suggestions for new or used rigs, and in some cases comments on each
one. Clearly, the FT-1000MP is a winner here. I had originally been
thinking about the TS-570DG but received several advices to stay away from
it. At any rate, thanks everyone, and below is a copy of my original
inquiry.

=== Original inquiry ===
Hi, everyone:
I need to replace my old TS-440S and am planning to purchase a good
new/recent model transceiver in the $1000-$2000 range. My primary
interests are:
1) CW
2) Contesting
3) Digital modes.
I have not been following closely what is "in" lately, and I would
appreciate suggestions on:
- Which brand/model are preferred for the above (TS-570DG is one I´ve been
considering)
- Do you suggest any specific mods or accessories (my FoxTango Xtal filters
in the old 440 worked wonders).
Appreciate your feedback and I will summarize for the list.
