[Elecraft] K3: ATU but a bigger version

I really like the way that the K3 ATU works.  It has that nice "push my button and I will tune for you" feel to it.

But, it is so small.  OK, kind of kidding here but it would be nice to have a big legal limit version of this tuner.  Sure, a separate "bigger" box container.  I don't really like some of the auto-tuners that I have seen that are in automatic mode and retune behind the scenes (so to say).  I like to have some control over my auto-tuner.

So, is there any hope that Elecraft might someday build a big 1500 watt capable ATU along the same style as the ATU in the K3?  Knowing Elecraft, it would be highly configurable with firmware controlled features and options.  And a kit version too of course.
