If the price is in the $2000 range then it is competition for the K3. Will it out perform a K3? Probably not, but for a lot of buyers getting a full featured, well advertised rig from Ikensu just feels a lot safer than getting something from a smaller company. True performance only matters to those who care about it and even then only under tough conditions. I think many hams are perfectly happy with an average rig with a lot of visual appeal.
