It would not be a fair comparison to judge the K1 against many
other transceivers based on features, but by specs would be interesting.
I would think the K2 fares well against many "full featured" transceivers
and is probably at the top of the heap of QRP transceivers other
than the K2. 

The ARRL K1 review on the Elecraft website does have some 
numbers worth seeing, like BDR and sensitivity. The ARRL lab
used 20 kHz spacing, though - it would be interesting to see
smaller spacing numbers!
