It's a tool in the toolbox. My friend has one, and it's nice, but for general field use I like the KX3 better. That said, the 705's screen makes hunting and pecking during a contest a million times easier.

I used to feel the same way about the antenna tuner, but for a field radio the only reason I'd need one is if I can't get a real antenna up into a tree.
