[Elecraft] K3 FSK/D vs MMTTY

I am trying to decide if I should invest in an SVGA card for my P3. I know about all the nice features that the SVGA card will give me, but I have been told by a top contester that the K3 decoder is not as good as MMTTY. I like on occasion to do FSK/D, and have been using the built in function of the K3 with fair success. With my old, displaced Pro 3, I used MMTTY/EXTFSK and a Green Heron Radio Boss with very good results. I still have the Radio Boss, and see that it would be easy to implement with my K3. So, the only question I have is does anyone have an unbiased opinion on which offers better results in the decode of FSK/D?
Certainly, I can do the Radio Boss option for less than $50, since I have the unit. The SVGA would run me around $300 (I would need another monitor). I am not a heavy user of RTTY or PSK, but on occasion use those modes. I am leaning to the less expensive Radio Boss option, or just continue with the K3/terminal program readout.
So, again which is a better RTTY decoder: MMTTY or the built in K3 decoder? Or, are the pretty much the same?
Thanks & 73 ....
