[Elecraft] KAT500 vs K3 ATU

I am considering getting a KAT500 to provide me with higher power auto-tuning.  Currently, the KAT3 is capable of achieving a match on all bands using my open-wire fed 160-meter dipole, with some help from a 4:1 balun.  I believe both tuners are T-matches, but I don't have enough information to judge whether the KAT500 will achieve the same matches that the KAT3 will.

Can anyone give me the L and C values for each tuner?  

Thanks,

Gary W2CS
