That is a good price. I wonder if it has enough computer power for some of the powerful digital mode programs.
That approach gives you the most versatility, but I'm going a different way for PSK field work -- the NUE-PSK digital modem. It has it's own LCD screen and processor with software for PSK and a few other modes in the firmware. It draws 60 ma without backlight, 80 ma with, so it will give many hours of QRP PSK using a small battery for it and my 817. The curent sale price is $150 kit, $200 assembled from http://www.nue-psk.com/. But a real PC like a Netbook would allow a lot of other portable activity, but without quite as much time betore the batteries run down.
