Hi Greg,

IMO, the KIO3B is NOT an important upgrade. The USB interface is a 
convenience. The serial port on the original KIO3 is just fine, USB to 
serial adapters are inexpensive, and excellent USB sound cards are 
cheap. I'm using a discontinued Tascam that I paid $75 for, and the 
excellent Asus Xonar can be had for the same price.

I'll stand by my observation that only the synch board(s) and the new 
transverter board are 90% of what matters functionally between new and 
old.  I have three K3s from 2008,  those boards are the only things I 
replaced, and I have no plans to buy a K3S.
