Phil, Building the K3 will likely make future hardware changes easier to implement since you will have recognized key circuit board areas and have an understanding of the assembly/disassembly process.
Getting in and back out of the K3 is very easy. By contrast, the disassembly of my previously-owned IC-7800 required removal of over a half-dozen different screw types with varying lengths. That created a nightmare situation if one of those screws was installed incorrectly.
