[Elecraft] How accurate is the K3 SWR meter

I am pretty new to the K3 world and just getting acquainted with the 
radio. I have a Vectronics Vector 500 antenna tuner with a cross needle 
swr meter. I notice a disparity between the swr readings on the K3 and 
on the antenna tuner. So, how accurate is the K3 swr reading? I can 
imagine that the Vector cross needle reading is not particularly 
accurate, but I don't know that for fact. I don't have access to a high 
quality swr bridge, so I'm trying to figure out which reading to trust. 
Any comments are much appreciated.
