Having never owned a TS570 i can't compare it to the 480, but I will 
say that the 480 is superior for portable and mobile operation due 
to it's size and separate control head. The TS 480 is a very good 
receiver with IMD distortion (close in) figures that rival the 
vaunted ts9xxS series. It also comes with dedicated DSP filters for 
digital operation, built in digital interface and all the usual 
bells and whistles. I found the following document to be helpful in 
understanding the design goals of the TS-480. You might find it 
helpful in making comparison to the TS-570. It's not the regular 
manual but a design overview written by the folks who designed the 
TS480.
