I think radios are really a personal choice, you balance out what you want/need and your price point and go. My first HT was an FT60, it was great for what I wanted, folks told me all sorts of things, but I loved it, pick what you like and want and go for it. You'll use it so get what you think will serve you best.
The best advice you've gotten IMO is from Sailor......."Get a good antenna" especially for your home. Doesn't matter how good a radio you get, if you're using a coat hanger you're not going to get very far.
