As I understand it, comparing the 3000 to the 5000, the 3000 has better receive sensitivity on 6 meters which is important to me. Some of us flex-a-holics contend that they may have tried to cram too many modules into the small 5000 box. I am sure that there are those who will argue this point. I have owned a 3000 and a 1500. I would like to see multiple SO-239 RF outputs on the 3000, but other than that, it's the most bang for the buck out there IMHO. It could be a mistake to discontinue the 3000. I understand the marketing behind deleting the 5000 from the line. I wonder what that will do to the used secondary 5000 market? We shall soon see!
With reference to the Apache, with all due respect: "Be American....buy American!" Tentec, Elecraft, Flex are the big 3 to me.
