That depends on what you want to do with it. Good quality you can get with the so-called world receivers. Try google to find a source local to you. Also a second hand one could be better than the current new ones. So your equivalent of ebay might be nice. Personally I own a JRC NDR 525, very stable, frequency's accurate within 5 hz, rtty/cw/lower and upper SB/narrow FM/AM. You dont want to know the price new....
So it depends on intended use, and the size of your bank account.

Obsolete Japanese crap. If you are going to sugesst an old radio, at least point him to a R-390.
Even this beats the DX-160:
