 I got my first K2 a couple of years ago. I traded a 60 pound SX73 for a 10 watt K2. Folks ribbed me that I got the bad end of the deal ... 60 lbs verses 3 lbs ... Nah, that 3 lbs is a lot easier to carry around. Love the radio. I since acquired a K2 100 watt rig too. I might have to buy a new one to experience the build. I already have three K3 rigs including the first one I built. 
My YL likes using the Elecraft much better that her FTDX3000 so that is up for sale.

 Not quite as long as you Eric, but I completed mine a little over 14 years
ago, in Nov 2011. It is stil my main station rig, and I'll never part with
it. I've been trying to convince myself that I need a KX3, or some other
QRP rig but the trouble is, the K2 has pretty much everything I want in a
transceiver. Any upgrade from my K2 would, for me, be incremental.
