The answer would depend on how much money I had to spend.
the 703 is around $700 new, and is not as accessible as the k2.  However, it 
does have six meters.   Also, the k2 has an internal battery option making 
it a completely self-contained station.
If portability is not a great concern, I think I'd wait and spend the money 
on a ten watt k3.
only a couple hundred more than the k2, and you get six meters, and a whole 
bunch of neet features.
I can hardly wait for mine to arive.
