That Elecraft has shipped K2 #7223 is pretty amazing. I built 1331 (a doppelgänger) a long time ago. I built 5226 also a long time ago. Gosh, building them and the accessories were the best kit builds I ever did.
The suggestion that it has achieved a place along the HRO-60, Gold Dust Twins, S Line or Drakes does merit the K2. Unlike Heathkit point to point wiring it was replaced by a modular PCB mounting scheme. That was revolutionary and made so many succeed. I would vote the K2 into the radio hall of fame based on the innovative modular design.
