Default Icom V82 vs. Yaesu VX-170

I'm looking at purchasing one of these two radios to use when I go railfanning. I've looked at the tech specs and they both seem to be pretty similar. The sensitivity on both radios is about .16 for receive, but the selectivity on the V82 is 50/55db. versus > 70db. on the VX-170. So, does anyone have any other technical input or input in regards to the different features of these radios? I've heard very good things about both of these, and I have the feeling that it will be a tough decision.
