True a fully kitted KX3 station will be about $3000, but the KX3 is really a different animal. There is a lot of flexibility with a KX3 station. For emergency power operation the KX3 draws a lot less power on receive.
One key feature is Elecraft themselves, somewhat regular firmware (and hardware) updates that improve performance and add features, and all this on a product that may be several years old. Other radio manufacturers are notorious for not providing updates after a relatively short period of time.
