I don't know if 1.5 brings enhancements to those functions or not. This comparison also used the K2. I assume the K3 has equal or better capabilities.

The video came from this link which has more background info, should you wish to read it.
Thanks!

Wasnt there just a thread about how libraries are getting their budgets cut? I think that may make that plan very hard to follow through with.
