G'day, Being retired my K3 is used every day mainly chasing down DX so more listening than transmitting. I don't have any problem with the form factor, suits me just fine, so does the K2 I built in 2000 and which accounted for over 200 DXCC for me during its evolution from QRP to QRO and my improving antenna circumstances. It took a while to get used to the soft buttons on the K3 compared to the solid clicky action of those on the K2. I've never had a pan-display so I don't miss it and looking at the operating sequences in the K5D video it seems to be a big distraction of limited use.
For me the K3 build experience is no where near as much fun as the K2 but that isn't the question.
