I am very interested in the P3 to add to my K3.  But, I give pause as to the 
usefulness of this device.  Although the cool factor is high...I wonder if it 
worth the dollars.  Of course in ham radio...dollars are not rare, never come 
into consideration, and they grow on trees.

I answered Lee offline, but for the benefit of others pondering this same question, I have this almost short comment:

Yeah, I used to say "what would I ever need one of those for. And what is the big-deal about a water-fall?"

One thing led to another and I bought a P3.  I don't know how I ever did without it. I told Lee many reasons for this, but I forgot to tell him they are great for contesting. The small size is convenient for me and adequate as well.

IMHO, to have a P3 is a good reason to buy a K3.  I appreciate that it's not computer dependent (even though I have not been without a computer since the mid-seventies).
