Strongly agree on all counts. That has proved a winning combo for me. And the switching allows me to make the most of less than ideal antennas. 
I often switch between them, even in the middle of a contest QSO. It's one of the features that makes the K2 family such a powerful contest radio. 
I'd like it even better if a third input to the tuners could be added!
