[Elecraft] K3(S) QSK Operation

I just learned of the "37 wpm" problem with the original K3 (non-S), 
which I have.  I just verified that, indeed, above 37 wpm the cw gets 
all messed up.  This seems to occur whether in QSK (Break-in) or PTT 
mode.  The problem seems to go away, at least up to 50 wpm, in the QRQ mode.

A possibly related issue is the slow QSK recovery.  In the normal QSK 
mode, one can just hear between the dits at 16 wpm.  In QRQ mode, that 
goes all the way up to 18 wpm.

Does the new synthesizer ala K3S solve either of these problems? If not, 
is there another solution?

73,
