[Elecraft] What Two Bands would you pick for a K1?

There are only six bands that Elecraft supports with KFL1-2 band parts:  80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m.  Some have customized their own boards for other bands, notably 160m and 10m.

When I built a K1 in 2000, only two-band filter boardz were available.  I built two filter boards, one for 40m/20m, and one for 30m/15m.  I used those until the KFL1-4 four-band board for all four of those bands was available.  I converted the 40m/20m KFL1-2 to 80m/17m.

Without any doubt or question, if I were limited to one two-band board, 40m/20m would easily be my choice even as we head further into a long (perhaps very long) period of minimal solar activity.
