A quick Google shows a number of reputable dealers selling the IC-7300 for $1500. It has an impressive set of features including a bandscope, 100W, and a tuner.

Compare that with a KX3 at $1850 -- $1250 for radio and tuner plus $600 for the PX3. You can save $200 by getting the kits. With the KX3/PX3 you get better specs, more portability, and PSK31/63 encode/decode[1]. But you only get 10 or so watts. Going to 100W will add $1180 (minus $50 for the kit), putting the KX3 system into an entirely different price category.

[1] I just did a quick eyeball differences test on the features. I well may have missed somethings of real importance.

Very interesting ... pretty good performance from the IC-7300 for an
"entry level radio."
