True a fully kitted KX3 station will be about $3000, but the KX3 is 
really a different animal. There is a lot of flexibility with a KX3 
station. For emergency power operation the KX3 draws a lot less power on 
receive.

One key feature is Elecraft themselves, somewhat regular firmware (and 
hardware) updates that improve performance and add features, and all 
this on a product that may be several years old. Other radio 
manufacturers are notorious for not providing updates after a relatively 
short period of time.
