Hi Donald,
You have a nice line up of radios there Donald. I always think of Icom as the cream of commercially made rigs. (Not counting K3's or Tentec). You are lucky to have a club house our regular meet once a month folded because of Covid. It wasn't a club house as such just a meeting room.
We have started weekly field days at a local beauty spot which has a cafe on site so at least we can put out a few calls then go for a Coffee and a slice of cake!
In the south of UK at the moment the WX is damp and quite warm for the time of year Overcast/ rainy and 10deg Centigrade. I hope you have escaped the very bad WX we are seeing on the TV every day.
Keep warm,
73
Richard G0ILN.

My everyday radio is a Yaesu Ft857 and you have a choice between key speed or frequency display you can't have both. So it looks as though the TS590 would work OK for me.
Glad it will work for you. I have two sets of paddles but use my straight keys
most of the time.
My everyday radio shifts between my Icom 7300 and my newly acquired 705. (My
7100 is for mobile use.) I like working QRP with the 705, and will be doing that
this afternoon at the clubhouse, where there's no noticeable RF noise.
