[Elecraft] K2 building plan

Hi all, this is my first post here, and although I see the concurrent 
"Looking at Elecraft Kits" message, I didn't want to step on that 
thread, because my question is a little different.

I've gotten the K2 bug (real bad ;->) and plan to order one in the 
coming week.  I have some kit building experience, and have a Hakko 
936, magnifying lamp, etc., although I need to study the information on 
the Elecraft site about recommended solder.  I want to build a K2 for 
use as a base station, and (as a No-Code General) plan to 
purchase/build in the following order:

1.  K2 w/ KSB2, and include the Rework Eliminator "Option Ready" 
package.  I'll worry about a mic when the time comes.

2.  KPA100 (internal, not in an EC2 with the KAT100, etc.)

3.  KAT100

4.  KNB2, K160M, K60XV

5.  KDSP2

Considering that (if I understand correctly) the Rework Eliminator 
package aids in progressive building, my question is:

Does this seem like a feasible plan, or is there something (e.g., 
K60XV, for which I can't find a whole lot of info about) that would be 
better to build in initially?

Thanks in advance,
