[Elecraft] K1-4 last band (15/17) choice help

[EricJ]

Set it up for 17. If you don't like it, change it to 15. No big deal.

I set mine up for 17 initially, but I didn't hear a single CW qso in a month
of listening, though I heard a total of two SSB qsos on another rig. In 15
or 20 minutes, I converted it to 15 meters. It's what works for you that
matters.

I'm looking for advice/experince again.  I don't really work much on either
17 or 15, so I would like some advice.  The best unsolicited advice has
said:

1) There is a lot of local activity (depending on your locality) on 17 on
SSB. 
Can the same be said about CW?
2) 15m is an excellent DX band when it is open.  Is it open often enough to
justify dedicating 1/4 of the band capability of the K1-4 to?
