Of note - the K3S and K3 with new synthesizers were essentially +/-
1 dB of each other and swapping the advantage from test to test.
This is good news for owners of the original K3 - the synthesizer
upgrade will provide every bit of the performance "upgrade" in the
K3S.
Looks like the K3S should be above the Flex because the Flex achieved
2DB higher due to:

Yes, the Flex-67000 should be dropped significantly because it can not
produce the both claimed dynamic range and noise floor (weak signal
sensitivity) at the same time. Multiple -30 dBm (105 dB DR referenced
to -135 dBm MDS) signals will cause ADC overflow with noticeable
clicking and popping (distortion) with the preamplifier enabled. Turn
off the preamplifier to prevent ADC overflow and the MDS degrades to
-118 dB (nearly 20 dB less sensitive) and completely unsatisfactory
above 20 MHz or so.
