I just ordered mine from HRO, the speech board is $69.95 and this rig does 
not come with a high stability oscillator like the ts2000, but it is 
available as a solder in option.  I've heard three of these rigs now and 
they sound GREAT!

Just ordered mine from AES.
$2,043 includes vgs1 and high stability oscillator.
There was a $54 fee for installing, but the oscillator required soldering,
and my usual tech is overloaded.
Should arrive next week.

Having been a k3 owner, I'll let you know how it compares.
