[Boatanchors] Kilowatt Match box vs Palomar AT2KD

[bc at councilman.com]

Hoping to get my open wire W7FG doublet (125') up this weekend  (trueladderline.com).

A 3' length of coax runs from the AT2KD  through the wall into a weatherproof junction box (arrestor and balun w/open wire terminals).

Last week I picked up a Kilowatt Matchbox as part of a lot which included a HW-100 and PS ("Grandpa talked to Australia on it").

Should I consider using the Matchbox instead?  

If I did use the Matchbox, would it be necessary to bring the ladder line into the shack?

Trying to catch up on everything I didn't learn while away from the hobby for 50 years.......
