Larry,
I would not be concerned about the hardware from the first production
run. If the K2 stability can be any example, remember that the K2 did
not have significant hardware changes to the receiver or transmitter
chains. There were a few enhancements, but my Field Test K2 has very
little rework that is not present on my SN2100 K2 - both are upgraded to
the current level.
In the firmware arena, I do expect changes as customer requests for
added or changed functions are accommodated, but with the firmware being
available as a download, those changes are easy to install.
As always, you can expect total commitment to customer support from
Elecraft.

I may wait for the second production run, although that may be sold out
by the end of Dayton ;-) I'm guessing 200 for the first run, and maybe
as many as 1,000 for the second run. I would like to hear feedback
between those runs, but I don't think there will be time for much
feedback. My main concern would be hardware changes between runs on the
first few runs, and how they would be handled for early buyers.
Obviously firmware changes are no problem. As good as the K3 design
appears to be, there are always little running changes in a rollout.
