Yeah, I thought fullpage would be a must, but it turned out to be not so important to me in the end because of the way I now brief approaches and just confirm a few details later. Also, because of the size, I have the k3 mounted at eye level, almost part of the instrument scan. If you can get a DX or iPad mounted in a similar manner, great, but that was not an option for me.
Same with the TOC, it sounds like a deal killer at first, but the index/goto lookups are actually very intuitive, since that's how we [used to ?] look at books....
In the end, individual preference and you never know until you try it in the cockpit. None of these devices are human-factor engineered for aviation, but that's why they are so cheap, too.
