[Elecraft] KPA-500 vs others

[Grant Youngman]

But circumstances are rarely "identical". 

In any case, if you don't  want a KPA500 don't buy one. If you do, then do. What about that is worth all of argument about it?  I had to cancel my order for one because I needed the funds for another purpose. Once I sell some other unused stuff I plan to reorder.  Not that Im ready to get rid of my 1500 watt amp, but for most circumstances, the bit of additional power plus ease of integrated operation and low hassle factor makes Elecraft's amp a worthwhile addition. 

YMMV
