Another option, which I use:
One FT-1000D and one FT-990. A used FT-990 can be had for under
$1K. It is basically the same radio as the 1000D, with an almost
identical layout. It doesn't have a second receiver, which is really
unnecessary in SO2R (unless you like listening to 4 receivers during a
contest!)
