I have the new Synt3A boards in my old (?) K3.
It has all the other easy hardware mods installed that have come to us.

Am I desperate for the K3S USB port? No.
The new attenuator and audio-amp? No
The extra pre-amp? Might consider that as an upgrade although I hear 
enough band noise when I connect the antenna on the HF bands ( I never 
work on 6m).

So my two cents worth: The old K3, mods and synth3A is a super 
performer, why move to the 'S'?
I'll wait till the K4 comes along, which will be a next generation 
DSP-rig that will blow us away like the K2 and K3 did when they come on 
the market.

73,
