[Elecraft] KPA100 location

Greetings everyone. Happy new year to all.

I am in the final stages of assembling a KPA100.  I have an EC2 enclosure
and still dithering as to where to put the amplifier. I like the look of the
K2 with the amp installed but I am concerned with the apparent issue of
frequency drift related to amp temperature that has been raised in this
forum. If it is a "real" problem it would seem the right thing to do to
locate the KPA100 in the EC2 (along with the 150W tuner). But then, if it is
a "real" problem, I have every confidence that Elecraft (and/or others) will
resolve it. How much drift are we talking about, anyway? I have made all the
current mods to the rig so it's as good as it's supposed to be at this time.

So, would it be wiser at this time to locate the KPA remotely or should one
just forge ahead and put it inside the rig as Elecraft intended?
