Bry, let me put it this way...
If I was going on a trip or a DXpedition, where size and weight of the radio
was a major consideration (such as air travel restrictions on luggage), I
would probably take a K3 with me, all else being equal.
But if that wasn't the case, that is, physical size wasn't an issue... I'd
take my Omni VII or even the Omni VI+. I'm just more comfortable with the
larger front panel and layout.
And I wouldn't rule out the Eagle over the K3, I just haven't used one
enough to know if I'd like it under traveling conditions. (Now, if anyone
wants to send me an Eagle to evaluate, I won't turn them down... but that
never happens...)
73, ron w3wn

Do you mean that the ergonomics might bother some people ?
