Craig,

The Proset-K2 uses an electret element (like the MH2 and MD2), thus has 
a high output level and needs bias.  The Heil HC-4 element is a dynamic 
type and does not need bias.  The Heil HC-4 and HC-5 elements typically 
have lower output levels than the typical dynamic microphones.  The HC-4 
has a more restricted bandpass - reportedly optimized for DX (see the 
Heilsound website).

You can make up your mind about which is better.  Both can work well 
with the K3.

73,
