The internal keyer in the K3 is no slouch, but I find that the Logikey is more comfortable 
  for me -- that is, I seem to make fewer errors than with the internal keyer. Something 
subtle about the timing. I set a small amount of compensation (K=2 or K=3 for Logikey 
users), to make up for the slight shortening of elements in the K3 when using an external 
keyer.

This is entirely a matter of personal preference -- there's nothing wrong with the 
internal keyer.
