QRP Head 2 Head(ish): Yaesu FTX-1 vs Icom IC-705

IMHO, neither one of these radios are true FIELD radios. My opinion of a field radio is one that can be easily backpacked, is lightweight and does not include a sensitive touch screen. For example, radios like the KX2 and the LAB599 Discovery TX500 are true FIELD radios. The IC-705 and the FTX-1 are IMHO drive up, picnic bench radios.
