John, please post info on the crystal when you have it. And if a quantity purchase gets a better price, there are probably several of us who might help get the order quantity up.

I think I have found a supplier for a 32.800 Mhz crystal, which would put the softrock at around 8200 and make it a more reasonable 15000hz offset. I hope that this will still be far enough away from the 8215 IF to not cause any problems, while making the bandpass a little more symmetric.Someone else had mentioned the use of a HPL-4562 opto-coupler to provide more buffering for the softrock. I may order one and give it a try. If it works, a crystal even closer to the IF may work without causing problems. Of course, I won't be able to test any of this until my K3 arrives, hopefully in December as I am in the first batch.
