From what you have said, it looks like you'd love a K4:

I am still a lover of the page turn buttons on the K3, and honestly do not like the ergonomics of using a touch screen to turn pages: ---> You have those page turn buttons in K4, and no touch screen.

I am not totally in love with the front-lit screen on the PW2. It seems a bit soft to me, and the color cast is not ideal. If all else were equal, I think I prefer the K3 in bright room light, to the PW2. ---> the screen and fonts of the K4 are the same as the K3.

The PW2 is smaller and lighter, especially considering the K3's cover, so that's a plus. ---> The K4 is small like the PW.

The touch screen, as much as I don't like it for page turns, is wonderful for navigation, dictionary lookup and other system operations.
--> OK, the K4 does not have a touch screen for navigation, but it's a small price to pay to be able to have buttons and no touch screen for page turns.
