Doug,

That may likely be true that a fair price to build the K2 will cast a 
shadow on the K3 kit price.

Comparisons are being made between an assembled K2 and the K3 kit price. 
  When you use the assembled K3 prices, there is still room for the 
lower priced K2. the kit to assembled differential on the K3 adds $200 
or more depending on the power level, sub-receiver, etc.

The K2 is still more modular than the K3, so in cases where the buyer 
wants a basic QRP K2 with no options, it may be cost effective for some.
