Keep an eye on R&L Electronics (randl.com) in Ohio. They have a daily special and the 891 is occasionally that special, typically around $619 to $629. They also ship to Mass with no sales tax. Even HRO charges the tax if they ship to Mass, so there is a small savings there of about $40. I've bought a lot of things from R&L and they are great to deal with.

There is an advantage to outboard tuners as well. Most in-radio tuners do NOT have a wide matching range. Outboard tuners are typically much better and much broader at matching, which could be something you'll deal with if you use something like an OCF or EFHW for multiple bands.
