To me the RX audio quality of the K3 has been it's weakest point. Good that 
Elecraft have finally addressed it. However, at what cost ?

The thought of having to purchase 2 new DSP boards (one for the 2nd RX) is not 
very appealing... I already brought the small add on filter board in the hope 
that it would improve things (it didn't).
