Just wondering if anyone here had experience (good or bad) with Vertex
handheld transceivers. I'm about to buy SOMETHING, but I'm not sure whether
or not I'm gonna stick with the standard ICOM.

I've been happy with my Vertex. Right now I'm having problems with its
picking up interference with my Garmin 296; I haven't resolved this
yet, and don't know if it would be better with a different handheld.
(I didn't experience this phenom with my Garmin III+.) On my most
recent flight, I finally turned off the radio while en route, and
turned off the GPS while landing.

all the best -- Dan Ford
