I plan on eventually getting the 2nd receiver, as I think all sorts of cool things can/will eventually be done with the K3 in respect to the diversity thing.
Maybe even a noise nuller type setup where you have a noise antenna that picks up local noise and eliminates it. Diversity itself would be great, 2 different antennas can act very different under QSB situations. I have actually switched between the G5RV and the vertical antenna manually during slow QSB situations!
