All I had to do was google "Sienna transceiver"

Sure it costs a lot, but it includes things like an embedded PC. And it's not 
new at all.

Remember that Elecraft was once an unknown company with a single transceiver 
product. I recall more than a few people telling me that nobody in his right 
mind would pay over $550 for a CW-only QRP kit rig from an unknown company...

Frankly I don't see any reason to prefer the Sienna over a K3. I do see a 
couple hundred to a thousand reasons to prefer a K3 over a Sienna.

Still, as KK7P points out, is is a good thing to see another American company 
producing a serious HF transceiver kit.
