I agree wholeheartedly!  My Johnson Switch is the two tube version.  I 
also use a KW LPF for insurance.

The thing that folks REALLY need to pay attention to is MONITORING the 
signal.  As one ham's tagline says: Running RF without a scope is like 
driving at night without the headlights on.

If you don't monitor, you do not know when something has gone awry.  
Therefore you become unpopular in your neighborhood.
