I personally love my K2 and will keep it. I have the 100 watt amp, and the built in antenna tuner. I may sell the amp, since I would have the K3, but the basic K2 with the tuner seems like a really nice simple to use rig, plus I built it!
CW only K2 and the built in antenna tuner is a very small, easy to use radio at a very low price. A qrp K3 with the tuner and some filters is a LOT more money, and you don't really get to build it like the K2.
