The K3S is a top of the line, world class radio. If you can
afford it, it will not disappoint you, even if you only use if
for listening.
If you want a cheaper, simpler radio, the Elecraft KX3 rates
nearly as high as the K3S on receive[1] for less money and
complexity. It is much more portable, although the K3S isn't
bad, being the choice of many DXpedition.
It is harder to do some things with the KX3, like change between
digital and SSB, but it supports the important features. The K3S
also has some features, like two receivers, that the KX3 does
not have.
The new KX2 has not yet been tested by Sherwood as far as I
know. I would expect it to test out similarly to the KX3. It
should also be on your short list.
