At this point the plan is to use the following rigs for the DXpedition:

 

8Q7GC -

ts-2000

Mike, UN8GC / 8Q7GC will operate his favored KENWOOD TS-2000x which covers all HF, VHF and main UHF bands up to 1.2 GHz. It's expected to put out 100 Watts on HF.

 

8Q7GU -

ic-7400

Andy, 8Q7GU / UN8GU will operate his ICOM IC-7400 which is similar to ICOM IC-746pro and also covers all HF bands + VHF with 100 Watts output.

As you can see these rigs are not of a 'portable' type like for example ICOM IC-7000 or Yaesu FT-897. The primary reason for not taking small rigs down to Maldives is the desire to have functionality and performance.
