[Elecraft] KXPD2 Vs. KXPD3

I just received my KX2, and have planned to add 
the KXPD2 as soon as it is available. No KXPD3 on 
hand because I use a Begali Adventure with my KX3. 
But for the KX2 I'd like a paddle with a smaller 
profile.

My KX2 order included a KXPD2, but I see from 
photos here and there that the KXPD3 looks nice on 
the KX2.

So now I'm wondering if I should get the KXPD3 for 
my KX2, rather than the KXPD2. My questions are 
(and hopefully the KX2 field testers have had a 
shot at using the KXPD2):

  * What are the differences between these two
    options? I see the KXPD3 is $20 or so higher
    in price, but I'm more interested in
    construction and performance (how they feel)
    differences.
  * Is one easier to use than the other, or is the
    only plus of the KXPD2 its smaller size?
  * Are there other factors I should consider?

Since I've not used the KXPD3, I'm pretty much in 
the dark -- so any input appreciated!
