I would choose the IC-7410 over the IC-7300 if those are the only two
options.
Do not go only by those labs numbers.
The IC-7300 as well as the 7610 tend to overload when multiple strong
nearby signals are present on the band, even with reduced RF gain.
If you are not limited to only those two radios, then you might want to
consider a Yaesu FTDX-10, which will not suffer of that overload/overflow.
