I've have owned, or borrowed, about every transceiver available (aside from the Hilberling). My K3 is about the toughest and most reliable piece of ham gear I have ever owned, so much so that I'm ordering another one soon .
You should, so as to give yourself a frame of reference, subscribe to some of the other brand's mailing lists and Yahoo groups. The occasional solder joint failure is NOTHING compared to "the display died in my XXXX, and it will cost $1000 and take four months to fix". That's not an exaggeration...
