Dave -- I would buy the ATU, well, actually I did buy the ATU with my K3.  I do not have the auto-tuner but the main reason I did by the ATU is because I intend to use my K3 in a portable fashion too where I will not be dragging along a lot of extra equipment -- especially a big hunking Palstar auto-tuner (which is still on my list of toys to buy).
