Palstar R30 could be an interesting alternative. http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/commrxvr/0330.html
Seems to meet most of your requirements. It's small, can be externally powered by 12v or internal AA cells, has an analog S-meter and a digital display, fast/slow AGC, and a good reputation as a well performing radio. You can get it with Collins filters installed.
