Of Elecraft builders? I'd say only a few. A "K3" would be a great  
rig. Even though we can only speculate on the features or price range  
of such a hypothetical rig, I'd be sorely tempted to add one to my  
shack, right next to my K2.

Building is still a big hurdle. Witness all of the "I'll build it for  
you" guys out there. One guy on this list has built more than 80 rigs!
