[Elecraft] Another KX3 vs K3S Query...

But maybe phrased another way.

I'm just a few years into HAM with a General license, and continuing to
explore CW, contesting, digital, etc., using my Yaesu FT-897D.

The major upsides for the KX3 vs K3S are portability and cost - a Full Monty
K3S-100/P3 vs Full Monty KX3/PX3/KXPA100 is about $4300 vs $9000.

With either hooked up to my G5RV 102' dipole on my shack bench, in what
operating uses would I see little to no difference, and which operating uses
would I see progressively more shortcomings for the KX3?

No good options to markedly upgrade the antenna (no tower options and
antenna only in the woods), so looking for rig-to-rig comparisons. No plans
to push >100W near-term, if ever.

Thanks for your patience in yet another X vs Y question.
