Mod kits - what order?

[M0XDF]

After many months of not much time or opportunity to install lots of  
stuff (no mods installed), I want to get all the mods done and install  
my KRX3 & KDVR3 and the FM filter etc. I believe I have everything  
that is required, but will review all the mod requirements before  
starting.

I'm wondering if anyone could suggest the best order to install this  
lot in?
I think I should make the mods first, since I'd probably have to  
remove the KRX3 to do some and also shouldn't make too many mods  
without testing them. Some mods will be simple and I could be  pretty  
sure of their correctness.

I'm very fortunate to have just been offered the use of a professional  
SMD bench with a manual Pick and Place Machine, Fluxer, my rework unit  
and very specialised soldering iron - plus lots of test kit :-)

This is what I did ~1 year ago so it's current only up to that point:

I now routinely keep both of my units completely up-to-date (excluding K3DSPUPGD).  I'm still unconvinced on the latter since I don't do ESSB, don't hear HF artifacts and don't have a problem with the LF response even when CW Pitch is set to 300 Hz.
