Recommended shortwave radio for weather

We'll be departing for the Bahamas soon and realize that we will need a shortwave radio to pickup weather broadcasts such as Chris Parker on SSB 4.045 mHz USB. I would like to know which make/models are recommended. Appreciate any advice or suggestions

I've come across these portable SW receivers that seem reasonably priced in the $125-130 range:

Sony ICF-SW7600GR
Grundig Globe Traveler G3
Sangean PT-80

Any comments positive or negative or alternatives that I should consider?
Pete
