I don't know a thing about the McCoy but I've been studying up on the 
Icom line as I make the decision as to what I will put into my plane.

At first I was 100% decided on the Garmin SL40 mainly because of it's 
ability to monitor the standby freq. That was until the A210 came out. 
In a side by side comparison of the SL40 and the A210 the A210 whips the 
  SL40 in almost every way and cost about $300 less.
