One is a radio using a 450W power tube, costing around $200, and the other is a radio using a 75W power tube, costing around $100. I'm not sure how these VHF/UHF power tubes perform in the shortwave band, but the redundancy of the power supply seems sufficient, as can be seen from the promotional images for the IC-7760. Also, there are requirements for heat dissipation with the RD70HUP2, similar to a sandwich-like installation method. This is not as good as the traditional power tube installation method, and poor soldering will inevitably lead to problems. In comparison, the two RD100 power tubes from the FT891 have better power reserves and cooling than the RD70HUP2, which also doesn't seem to be a problem.
