I wouldn't consider a Scout because:
 
Old rig and you say you have trouble doing repair work
Band modules are a pain to handle/store  - also getting harder to  find.
Old technology
Jumps around in frequency
You said you wanted QRP - it is 50w and a real power hog. 
 
Better TT choice is the Argo V - get one used in the $600 -  $650 range.  
They are pretty expensive new.  It is a current  production rig with good DSP 
filtering, 20w, very easy to hook up for PSK.   I have one and love it.
 
If you want real QRP you could look for an assembled Elecraft K1/K2/KX1.
