John,
  I've done extensive CW  contesting with two Pro2s (and before that a Pro). 
In general, they do very well.  However, I've also operated a number of CW 
contests with a K3 and a Pro2 in SO2R, and then it's clear that the K3 is a 
much better run radio.  The main difference is the digital artifacts (maybe 
IMD products) that you hear in the passband on the Pro or Pro2 in crowded 
conditions; by contrast, the K3 is absolutely clean, and you just don't hear 
anything  unless it's really in the passband (e.g., sometimes keyclicks from 
an adjacent station).  The difference is less noticeable on SSB, where most 
of the junk that you hear really is splatter in the passband of the 
receiver.
