Yaesu 750 spirit. Fit for use as the main Radio in a Rans S6?

Hi, i'm looking for some feedback before we commit to further expense?
having purchased the Yaesu 750 Spirit to replace an old Microair radio whose reception quality is poor with an 8.33 portable transciever, the radio looks good with great functionality.
However we need a 2 person intercom to connect to it and with remote PTT.
Pilot sell a 2 person intercom with plug into side of the Yeasu, but it came with wrong plug, so sent it back and await news of one with the correct plug to try again.
In the meantime we have tried using a pilot pa 200 intercom which connects to the "supplied in the box" plug to connect one headset and use the PTT on the side of the radio.
Result.... we could transmit with all Fives but receiving was really low volume with all volumes turned to maximum. (Headset, intercom and radio volumes and squelch almost turned off).
Anyone had success with this Transciever and a 2 place intercom in a fairly noisy cockpit?
Or should we go back to the idea of a panel mounted 8.33?
Hope someone can advise? Rather be flying than messing with radios! But cant safely fly without!
Thanks Richardr
