If you're a serious contester maybe you want the extra DBs. But for 
DXers, with any skill you can wrk. what's out there with the K line.
If a bigger amp cabinet was needed. A much larger & heavier one they 
probably wouldn't be going on DXpeditions as they are now. Most recent 
DXpeditions are exclusively K3s and/or KPAs. I have an average DXer stn. 
& I've not yet missed anything. I know the rare call & locations help 
them but I've not been where I couldn't copy the DX.
I've had  my K line nearly 3 yr.s and I personally wouldn't go back to a 
tube amp. Can't tell you how much rare DX I've seen spotted &  been 
there in 15 seconds & wrkd it. I wouldn't want to sit there waiting a 
minute or two til the warm up light goes out on a tube amp. Be 20 or 30 
more calling by then. Probably K line guys....

Just my opinion. K9IL
