I reduced mine to a K1 and K2, and have no regrets at all. I operate 90+% CW and the other 10% or so between SSB and PSK31 (with a PSK20). I still have my TS-950 but it has not been turned on since January when I got the K1, and is currently in its original shipping box awaiting my ability to overcome inertia and stick it on ebay.
Currently, I have no interest in the K2/100 option as 5 watts has been doing everything I want to do, but my interests in this hobby have changed before and doubtless they will change again. I'd agree with the other poster (forgot who) who advised keeping a rig for a "station monitor". I particularly agree with his idea to have one that is just plain fun--like his choice of a HW-101--something you always wanted to have, but wouldn't choose for your only rig. A quality boat anchor would satisfy that.

[...] Has anyone reduced his rig collection to just a K2/100 and regretted it? If so, would you mind sharing your reasons why? I'm considering doing just that - the reducing, not the regretting. :-) A lot of very personality dependent variables in the decision, but I'm curious nevertheless. Thanks & 73!
