I have spoken to both Ireland and Northern Ireland before from here on both 20
and 40 meters (though both were noisy).  I am off the air right now as one of my
radios was hit by lightning, the other radio's finals may be messed up/blown and
I am in an apartment so I will have to get creative in how I get a HF antenna
up. 

I am looking at getting an ICOM IC-7100 (160 meters through 440 mhz in a single
small radio and the head unit is very nice; looks like a Motorola desk head) if
I get Social Security.  Around $1100 new but I cand find one used online in good
condition for 1/3 to 1/2 price new.  I am a big ICOM fan as I like their setup.

I've seen those 400s and I've heard very good things about them.  The only thing
I would do is shoehorn Devuan on there for my own personal taste.
