[Elecraft] Question about the K2

Hi all.
Just a few days ago I just realized you could build the K2 as a complete QRP
setup and then add the KAT100-2/KPA100 in the EC2 custom enclosure to make
it a QRO rig.
Wow. Very cool. I was thinking about building a K2-100 and a K2 so I would
have a rig for both occasions. Now I find out that I can have just one K2
setup to do both if I am reading this correctly. LOL. I always wanted to
know why people would want to put the KAT100 in a large case. Now I know
why. What my question is, is it OK to have the internal QRP tuner in at the
same time that I have it hooked up to the KAT100-2/KPA100 or does the
internal tuner have to be taken out to use the KAT100-2/KPA100 add-on?
This is really going to be a very cool setup for me because I love to go out
on weekends and do QRP work and during the weekdays work traffic nets where
I need more power most of the time. This seems the best of both worlds to me
and now I only have to build one K2 and save a lot of cash.
It's funny. I have been watching this reflector for a while now and it isn't
till now that I just found out that this was an option.
Does anyone have any experience with this setup and how they like it or have
any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
