Tim -

If you are using the internal keyers in both rigs, there may 
be far more difference than A and B modes.

The keyer in the K2 is very good for my taste, but each 
person has a different preference.  Besides A and B modes, 
the method of weighting, auto completion of elements and 
autospacing are just a few variables that can change from 
keyer to keyer.

I prefer the Curtis timing and A mode.  But, the best keyer 
I have ever used is the Idiom Press CMOS 2.  It, and the 
later incarnations, have about 9 different timing methods 
that are user selectable.  Eventually you find one you like.

Some of the recent keyer kits I have tried have timing I 
just can't get used to and changing weighting is a real 
adventure on some of them.

Bottom line is that keyers differ widely.
