While the 7600 has some nice features and will appeal to a lot of people if I were on the fence I wouldn't be after reading the QST review.
Just comparing the CW waveform, Transmitted hash and especially the graphs for IMD, BDR, etc. would put me solidly in the K3 camp. The second receiver would be another deal breaker for me. I have it and love it! Also, you may want to consider how people who bought the Pro III in the last year or so feel right now. While the 7600 is not a huge improvement they don't have the newest model and are behind on some specs and features. While at the same time, someone that bought a K3 two years ago can have an equivalent radio to a new one without having to replace the old one and take the resale hit. Buy the K3 kit and enjoy the satisfaction of putting it together yourself. I sure do.
