That's all valid. The only thing I'd add is that if you're kind of doing the same thing all the time, most settings are set and forget, or leave at default. It's good to be aware of them if you do want to adjust things, but being buried in a menu isn't a deal breaker. But it is nice having things available as dedicated buttons. The penalty comes in the form of size and weight.

I haven't used an 891, but I have an 857 and (ignoring the loss of VHF/UHF) the 891 is a real improvement. That's what I usually recommend. I'd get one myself but I'm afraid it would render my beloved 857 obsolete. That's the only reason I don't have one.
