I really looked at the FT-8800 and 8900 radios and just couldn't justify the price, I normally only use 2m and 7cm, I am on the peak radio network often and I couldn't use my Icom 2100h anymore since they went to the DCS tones for the valley here. My buddy with the antenna in the house was running a FT-8800 and it does have quite a bit more functions then my TYT.
One of the nice things is that the tyt has most of the same features of the 8900 minus it doesn't do multi bank scanning, but it will do the repeater functions and it will also FM transmit on CB channels and is not locked to amateur channels, you can full transmit on commercial and amateur also.
