Absolutely Dave!  My particular "hot button" for the low bands is True
Diversity, which only the K3 and Flex 5000 can properly do.  Ten-Tec's Orion
was close but not phase-locked and the Sub RX so so inferior to the Main RX
that it was rendered useless if any strong signals were nearby.  It will be
interesting to see if any of the next generation up-conversion rigs will add
this capability.  Until then, unless you like computers the Bill Gates user
interface, the K3 is the only game in town.

P.S.  160m is beginning to come to life.  I worked several JAs today,
continuing my streak of JA QSOs in June, July and August (equivalent to you
working EU then).  This was unheard of until we got these very low Solar
Flux conditions, so there's a silver lining to the cloud of low sunspots.
