[Elecraft] External keyers with K3 - recommended?

[Dave G4AON]

The internal keyers in my K1, K2 and K3 are fine by me. The reason why
many users prefer an external keyer is it is consistent between
transceivers, especially if you operate as a guest at other stations. If
you stick with one transceiver, and it has a good internal keyer, then I
see no reason to use an external one.

I have never in my 34 years as a ham used an external keyer and always used
either hand pump (old days) or built in keyer in my radios. But I keep
hearing folks using external keyers despite built in capabilities.

I am a CW enthusiast and over 95% of my Q's are CW. I do like using memories
but find the 4 quick memos in the K3 to be sufficient. I'm not interested in
using a keyboard nor display to watch the text.

Does anyone recommend an external keyer even with the K3?? I would rather
not hook on external boxes unless it will give me something extra.

If I do, I understand that Logikey and Microkeyer are great products.
