Gus, are you going to be using your K3 in a marine, or extremely humid,
climate?
If not, I'd ship the K3SSKT.

The beauty of the K3 (and the KX3) is that if the budget today won't
permit adding all of the options that you want, you can add them easily
at a later date.

Gus,

I think your list is a very good start.  It's the way started with my
first K3.  After time I added more options when I could afford them.
