Have a VX-5. Stays in the box. I find it too difficult to use. I prefer the FT-60.

Just talked to a fellow ham who was considering the Yaesu FT-65 HT.
I faced the same choice recently. For me, it came down to the FT-70 vs the FT-60. When I read consistently that the FT-70 chewed through batteries, that tipped me towards the FT-60.
