Being that APRS is a must I narrowed down my choices to the Yaesu VX-8DR and the Kenwood TH-D72A.

D-72 is full duplex, and the VX-8 is not. Easy decision if it were mine to make. Full duplex makes FM birds so much easier, for both the op, and the other users.

Ewww... I didn't know the VX-8 wasn't full duplex. Yeah, full duplex is definitely a must.

Thanks Drew!
