I am so glad the day has arrived that the rigs are small enough to fit in the car and light enough to carry from the den to the family room. My SX101 and HT32B had to have their own Desk with shelves for the other equipment, and the KW (now in the garage gathering dust) is in a 19 in. rack 4 ft high and on wheels). If we lead our lives in reverse order it might work out to grow the equipment, but the Yaesus and Icoms on the high end are only larger to handle an unapproachable number of smaller and smaller buttons.
Personally the smaller rigs are not convenient because they rely more on pushing programming which gets harder to remember as we get older and the rigs diversify. The ability to preset the K rigs to pre configured settings is a great help and I find their size to be a reasonable compromise. My Ft-100 and IC-7000 push it a little over the line.
