Don't be so quick to dismiss the UI.  For one, it shows the state of
most settings all the time. For example, on the K3, to see the power
level, you have to turn the knob and even then the power only flashes
on the screen for about a second. On the 6300 it's there all the time.
In other words, the K3's display is seriously limited in what it can
show. The 6300's is not. 

Again, I didn't intend to get into a flame war between radios. I only
wanted to respond to the fellow who said the K3 was a "bargain" by
pointing out that the K3's features could be had for a lot less money.
In all fairness, I think the higher end SDR's are overpriced too.
