The K3 plus the KPA500 has all the slick integration going for it. Behind all that is all the time and battle-testing of the combo. You start with an unknown element in the middle and you lose all of the field experience and fine-tuning of the firmware that came with the experience. Plus at twenty-something watts to the KPA500, everything in the K3 is loafing.
