I agree completely with what Phil says, both Phils
:-)
If I were buying today, I'd buy the K3S vs. a used
K3. I don't get my current K3 on the air enough
today to motivate me to sell my fine K3 (with the
new synth board) and buy the K3S. So I will stand
pat.

I think that all would agree that unless $Money is the big issue in the
decision, go for the K3S. Unless of course there is some reason to want an
older model. Yes, the K3 can be updated with the most important *new* features
of the K3S by why do that — unless money is the issue.
Yes, I too am keeping my K3 (and soon be upgrading to the new synth board) but
this is only because I have not yet used up my current K3 — you don’t ask for a
new slice of pie when there is pie remaining on your plate!
So, if $ is not an issue — buy the K3S.

P.S. Then again — I am the type of guy to buy a new latest model car (or, in
my case, pickup truck) rather than a used when when I go car shopping.

I'm sure others will weigh in, Jerry, but IMO from a performance standpoint no
-- so long as you have (or add) the new synth board in the pre-owned K3. Of
course, there are the usual used vs. new issues:
* No warranty
* Potential defects which have arisen in the used K3
Now if you work 6 meters or are very fussy about your RX audio, the K3S has
pluses, though most (all?) of those can be addressed by upgrades which are (or
will be) available to the K3.

Is there a good reason to get a K3s instead of a preowned K3? I'm returning to
the hobby and looking hard at the K3S. So much has changed that I'm trying to
catch up.
Thanks in advance.
