I highly value your opinion Steve but I'm scratching my head about the
display looking Flex-like to you.
Here are two example videos using a computer monitor and the Icom software:

The display looks very un-Flex like to my eyes. The firmware/software
seems unable to trace a curve. The display seems to lack any detail
whatsoever, even on the big computer monitor. Maybe I'm missing something
but I've been looking since the IC7300 came out.
