You will LOVE it, Bob.  Many times I've QSYed quickly from one band to 
another to work a DX spot, and I'm ready to go as soon as I've switching 
to a reasonably well matched antenna and pointed it in the right 
direction!  No waiting for the filaments to warm up (or paying PG&E to 
keep them warm), no tuning the amp.  The new tuner will make that even 
nicer and more flexible. When some of the bigger DXpeditions have been 
working several bands at a time, I've been able to work them on 3-4 
bands in a few minutes!  The amp falls back a bit if the mismatch is too 
great to drive, and faults gracefully (that is, fast reset) if you screw 
up with overdrive or the wrong antenna.
