I'm in the same boat with a "slush fund" specifically created for a loaded CW-optimized K3S. However, two factors keep me from pulling the trigger on that purchase. The main subject re. the possibility of a K4 and the fact that my K2/100 performs so darn well.
Additionally, I personally find the amber display a tad tough on these old eyes. As minor as it sounds, I might have purchased a new K3S last year upon fund maturity had a green display been an option.
I purchased A Yaesu FT-991A for VHF/UHF SSB work some months ago. On HF, the K2/100 still "cleans it's clock!" One time, I tried to locate a DX station spotted on the cluster but couldn't hear it. Removed the PL-259 from the FT-991A and moved it directly over to the K2/100 and voilà, there it was. Weak but readable, and subsequently wrkd. Not too shabby for an almost-20 yr. old rig.
