And, how far from your fave stations are you? Are there hills?

The two are likely line ball in sensitivity terms, the Sony is a little older.

Unless it has been checked over since new it would very probably benefit from a going over in the RF, bandwidth filtering stages (matched and selected filters), and the MPX and other audio stages. Good audio quality but commercial Res & Cap upgrades! It is unlikely to become less sensitive or selective, and should sound quieter and better - less warm, but still nice.

IIRC the Sony could output a multipath readout which is no bad thing. And it can get your fave stations, now.

The Philips will also warrant a checkup / mods anyway. The AM stage in the Philips is among the best SS AM around. Hi-Fi AM had a good market down here in Aussie / FM only came in the 70's! May not be important to you.
