[Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyers remorse on a K3/K3S purchase?

Sorry for the bandwidth, but I just had to chime in.
Bought my K3 in 2008. Was astonished at it's performance.
Bought my IC-7600 in 2010. Boy, what a beauty of a radio that ICOM is.
Beauty on the outside; much less stellar on the inside.
I decided I'd keep the ICOM as my backup rig and eventual SO2R "second"
radio until something better (or a K4) came along. Most of the past 5
years it has collected dust because the performance is lacking in
comparison to the K3. True A/B switching proved that early on. It was
relegated to "that beautiful radio for non-hams to see" status.
Then the K3S comes along and I order one at Dayton. I have done and
continue to drink the Elecraft cool-aid. No other manufacturer has
given the vast majority of the ham community what they want. It's all
about performance; It's what's inside that counts.
I have a pristine IC-7600 for sale if anyone is interested.
73,
Dan
