The K3 is a slightly different animal than the sx240/210. 

The good:
I has two oscillators, velocity, better midi, many different waveform
osc (and additive synthese). 

The bad:
Only 6 voices, no layer or split, no sequencer, no PWM (only static
waveform osc), and no lfo button. 

What the K3 has in common with the sx series is the filter and the
chorus and all Kawai synths are on the save side (as is the JP8) with
taking the modulation depth not too far. 

If you like nice pads or PPGish sounds, the K3 is a cheap alternative.
Although, the ppg factor is going only so far without wavetable
scanning. The chorus is noisy on both but sounds just great. I like
the SX240 the most because it is an updated 210 with lots of
professional features (e.g. layer/split, 8 voices). I also like the
interface. The sound is similar but different since the K3 has digital
based oscilator.
