Go for the Gusto! The K2 is a much more versatile unit, and a ton of
fun to build. And, you actually get to build it, instead of just
assembling a box full of sub-assemblies. It also lets you repeatedly
exercise your inner demon by building useful add-ons one at a time.

The K1-2 is $299.95. You must be considering another $250 worth of
options. When I built mine, the only option I ordered was the LCD
backlight.

So I sold my K1 about 3 months ago to buy another K1 to build.
Not that I didn't like my K1 I just wanted to build.
Now I find out the K1 4 bander is not available and I really have to
wonder if $550 for a 2 band QRP rig is a wise choice.
Of course I'm not asking you to MAKE my decision for me. I just was
hoping to bounce it off other people who actually know and care about
this kind of stuff. My only true ham friends (all 2 of them) think I'm
crazy even contemplating the K1.
Other choices:
1. Elecraft KX1
2. Oak Hills research OH100A
3. KD1JV tri-bander
Just typing this up I'm thinking the K1 is a good choice. I plan on
building
the KX1 in the winter.... if they keep making them.
Thanks for listening
