Oh yes,
The synthesizer upgrade isn't cheap, especially if you have two
receivers (you have to upgrade the synth for each receiver, as one new
one can't coexist with one old one, but from experience, I've found the
keying sounds much cleaner with the new synthesizer, even at slower
speeds and it actually helped clean up the dits on my bugs. The bugs
sounded so much different (better) with the new synthesizers, I had to
totally readjust them.
If you are a really serious QRQ or even medium QRQ (40-50 wpm) the
synthesizer upgrade IMO is a must do. Unless you are really screaming
along at 70+, you may even forget that QRQ mode ever existed in the K3
and as previously stated, you won't have to lose your QRQ operation to
run split or use the RIT at around 50 and below. (Split and RIT
automatically turn QRQ mode off, at least in an unmodified K3.)

"Clipped dits" is a good description. Upgrading the synth(s) will fix
this, even with QRQ mode turned off. In fact it's so good, that I don't
even use QRQ mode anymore so there is no change when RIT/XIT or Split
modes are engaged. You'll also find that the K3 now accurately follows
an
external keyer, whereas before the 'clipping' was evident at higher
speeds.
