The last kit I built before the K2 was in the mid 70's, so many of the 
K2's components were unfamiliar to me.  Doing an inventory allowed me to 
learn how to identify the parts.  In some cases, there were parts that 
did not exactly match the description in the manual, but by process of 
elimination I was able to tell what those parts were during the 
inventory.  It also made the actual build much more relaxing, since I 
didn't have to paw through piles of parts over and over to find the next 
one.

It turns out I did have a missing part, anyhow.  Finding that out before 
soldering saved me from a whole lot of looking at the board with an 
OptiVisor trying to find out if I soldered the missing part in the wrong 
place.

But that's just me.  I'd probably do an inventory in any case, because I 
like being (overly?) organized during a build.

Best Regards,
