[Elecraft] Coaxial switch and two rigs

Hi Elecrafters.. maybe that question has already been posted, but I ask it 
again. I plan to use an IC-706 MKIIG for SSB/VHF operations and a K2 for CW 
only. I have a Daiwa CS-201 coax switch. The ''output'' of the switch will 
go to an ATU (LDG AT-100Pro), and the inputs to each of the rig.

That switch shorts the unused output connector. If by distraction I use the 
K2 when the switch is at '706' position's, maybe I risk to damage the finals 
of the K2 (and same problem at inverse for the 706).

My question: Is the ''switch'' approach a relatively safe solution, or is is 
better to manually change the setup via coax permutation?
