I don't have anything used I can help you with but that 2100 sounds like a good deal.

As far as hand helds both Yeasu (FT-250R, FT-270R) and Icom (IC-V80, IC-V82) make new 2M hand helds that are well under $200 (actually closer to $100). They are devoid of all the fancy features but are much easier to "pick up and go" when you need to.

If you're adventurous, try the new kid on the block. (http://www.wouxun.us/Pricing.html)
I haven't tried them personally but have heard good reports and they sound ok on the air. You can own a dual band for the price of the Icom or Yeasu I mentioned above.

Best of luck with your shopping. I'd recommend dealers but most of them are excellent and I'd probably just leave some one out.
