which Icom radio?

I am looking at the Icom radios, the big A-3 at $350 and the small A-5
at $300. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

This is to be my only radio, used on every flight. All flights are
short.

Thanks!

The Delcom Air960 is a neat little radio you can panel mount or use as a
handheld.
The radio looks exactly like the old ICOM design.

You can get the A5, a much more user friendly radio here for less:

I put in the list prices only for reference. I haven't started
shopping yet; I'm interested in what I should shop for!

I specified Icom because you-all seem to think it's the greatest, and
so does my daughter the sailor. But now that I look around I begin the
year for the Vertex version of the Yaseu I now own, for all the
reasons I bought the Yaseu over the Icom in the first place. The
Vertex promises 5 watts.

No. I like the Vertex.

For what it's worth, I bought the Vertex Aviator Pro V. Put my Yaseu
Aviator Pro II on eBay and sold it. All in the same hour
