I've recommended the K3 to quite a few people, none have bought it due to 
the small size. Price was not an issue, usability was.

I too would have bought a K4 variant were it available - the K3 with a 
full-sized front panel.

As it is I'm waiting for the IC-7600 as I have a need for a 6m rig with 
bandscope and some meteor scatter software I want to write, also I'm waiting 
for more information on Kenwood's high-end offering late in 2009 or 
early-ish 2010.
