Since we're dreaming, how about a base model kit (500W) with the  
option to add up to two additional 500W PA modules via a power  
combiner circuit. This would allow people to configure it to their  
needs and/or budget and it would meet Phil's "something new"  
requirement. Optional: auto-tuner, optional interface (remote band  
switching, antenna management, SO2R operation, RS232 control, etc.).  
Offer a fully assembled version for those with Instant Gratification  
Syndrome, and everyone's happy!

An added benefit would be fault tolerance; the amp could continue to  
operate at reduced power in the event of failure of an individual PA  
module -- just pop out the damaged module and repair/replace it.
