I have to say I'm glad I got my order in and didn't wait. I understand those
that want to see more specs first, but I went with comments from K2 owners
in my club and the coomets on this reflector.

K3 looks like I'm going to have to run just to keep up from day 1 - great
:-)

Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the
same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice
as fast as that! -Lewis Carroll, mathematician and writer (1832-1898)

Once upon a time a man whose axe was missing suspected his neighbour's son.
The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief.
But the man found his axe while digging in the valley, and the next time he
saw his neighbour's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other
child. -Lao-tzu, philosopher (6th century BCE)
