Here is a link to a page all about the fl-7000.  They talk about an 
interface to the ts-850, which is an absolutely wonderful sounding and quite 
accessible radio.  It is not made any more, but it or the ts-870, or the 
little brother the ts-570, would all make the list of wonderful radios for 
you.
The SSB high fidelity guys seem to love the 850 and 870.  Their are many 
options out there for you, and people will be very helpful here.  We all 
will probably have our own personal biasses.  It depends on what you want, 
can afford, and like.
Do you run CW?  Data modes?  SSB? A.M?  which bands? what kinds of antennas? 
base or portable operation?  Is space an issue?  Radio is endless.

Anyway here is the link.
