Mike and All, You may be right--I haven't watched all that closely--but what I think I have noticed is that ones selling for the price range you mention typically are "light" on add-ons. Typically I see the lower priced ones without internal ATU's or DSP. Also, lower priced ones tend to be earlier versions. There were substantial changes to the ones that start with serial numbers above 3000. I can tell you though, that early versions work very well, and if they have been updated, you can't tell much, if any, difference. I have #72, and another one in the 4000 range. Both sound pretty similar to me. The great think about a K2 is the fabulous support you can get for it right here on this reflector, not to mention Elecraft's superb support team. If you have a problem with a K2, 99 times out of 100 the solution is only a few keyclicks away.
