I am considering change with a TS2000 or looking for the old TS711 & 811, I discard the new 7600 for their high cost ... Which one can work better in terms of benefits?

Have you considered using an SDR, such as the FCDP+ 
(http://www.funcubedongle.com/?page_id=1073), for your RX? You could 
keep the IC-910H for TX.

This would allow better situational awareness on the downlink with 
minimal $$$.
