[Elecraft] Another KX3 vs K3S Query...

[MaverickNH]

Summarizing some great offline feedback I'm getting, I can see a few options
emerging:

1. Get a loaded K3S/P3
2. Get a loaded KX3/PX3/KXPA100 system
3. Get a loaded/used K3/P3, which "beats" a KX3 system used for a base, at
about the cost of a KX3 system
4. Get a "limited" K3S/P3 system, which is similar in most ways to a KX3
system and can be expanded later

For the limited K3S option, I think I would do without a SubRX and filter
set, no 2M, no new speakers, and come in at $5600. So not about saving money
as much as delaying spend.

The used K3/P3 option is attractive, but I miss out on the "Next Generation"
hardware and add some risk for used equipment. Past the 1 year warranty, I'm
only trusting the owner that "as is" is fully functional.

The loaded KX3 system can be had used for ~$4000, so not to be dismissed.
Expansion options are limited, but a KX3 system may exceed my
needs/capabilities for several years. Who know what will be on the market in
2020?

Funds don't free up until 1AUG so I've got time for musing and more
feedback.
