I've seen these rave reviews about the new synthesizer many times. Has anyone
actually done an A/B comparison in real time with two otherwise identical radios.
I have a K3 with the original synthesizer (the actual one used to develop the
stiffener plate) and a K3S. I have not run them side-by-side since I don't have
any test equipment with sufficiently low phase noise to use. Anecdotally, using
them one at a time in day-to-day operation, I haven't noticed a difference.

The synthesizer mod has met with such documented success, that I
routinely advise someone looking for a used K3 not to bother unless
the new synthesizer(s) are in it. Or to work a discount on any K3
without them to offset the cost of the synthesizer(s) to be done
immediately.
All this became apparent very early on after the new synthesizers were
introduced.
