There have been many suggestions to this so far and all good depending on your interests. For me, I am mostly a CW op and decided to select filters for that purpose. I also knew I wanted a RX antenna and listened to the chatter back in 08 deciding to get many accessories knowing I'd want them later on. I kept adding options as I enjoy SWLing and a maximally stable rig for future digital modes I'd want to switch to. I wanted the sub Rx and that meant buying other parts than just the sub Rx. So here it is 2014 and I've added just about everything there is to offer except a couple filters on both boards and the 2M option. I have the voice module but will put that in the next time I open the K3, I'm in no hurry and don't "need" anything else.
I'll probably add the 2M option down the road but the bottom line to me is I decided what I initially wanted the K3 to offer me and as I came across more savings, I added the next part I wished I had till I have a fully stacked K3 minus those couple of parts I mentioned. I surely don't "need" anything more at this point but its a delight knowing my K3 will do everything I ask of it that it is capable of doing. With my old ears there's not much any other rig would offer that this one doesn't give me and its so easy to use once you set it up the way you want. You decide what you want right now and then decide what you will probably want. If money is a problem, do the lowest common denominator and get the minimum you need. If you can afford it, ask what others are using to do what you want to do and then buy that equipment at the same time so you can do it all at once. It would have been much easier if I had just bought it all at the same time and never had to open the rig again to update.
