Honestly, the size of the spectral display isn't as important as the
fact that it is extremely effective. It works. It's all in one small
box. The K3/K3s - P3 and KX3/PX3 are wonderful bits of technology. But
their U/I's remain a fine examples of the best of 20th century design.
Large, full color, capacitive-touch, fully reconfigurable displays are
becoming more pervasive every day. Refrigerators have them. Top of the
line test equipment, remote controls on the coffee table, car dash
boards with two or more displays, it goes on and on.
The IC-7300 is Icom's first shot at full-color touch technology. They
pioneered the full color display and were very successful at it. It's
pretty clear that the Big Three have recognized the paradigm shift. In
a few short years everything else will look dated - because it will be.

The PX3 also provides a generous amount of display height for its spectral and
waterfall displays (roughly 2x the height of the IC-7300 in its max setting, to
use the vernacular :)

I sold my FT 817 to add the PX3 to my KX3. I had never used a spectrum display
before.
But I never turn on the KX3 without the PX3 now. It is useful to see CW signals
both
sides of the dial, and which is the strongest, and the weakest. Same for SSB.
Just turn
the dial and move the station to the center marker and listen. I might say I
like my
FT817, had it for years, but I just could not take the small screen in varying
light
challenges, and my eyes getting older. So I did not have any pangs when I sold
it. And,
after having the PX3, I never looked back.
