[Elecraft] K3S/100 - Add a KPA500/KAT500?

[MaverickNH]

I figure when that KPA1500 comes out there will be a few KPA500/KAT500 units
up for sale ;-) I'm thinking to add a used set to my K3S/100 and would like
advice on adapting my system. 

At present, my remote ATUs are only rated to 100W (LDG RC/RT100 at base of
G5RV) and 200W (MFJ-927), so I'll need to bump those up. In fact, I might
recall the WA2NAN True-Talk 102ft G5RV was rated to 100W maximum, but I'm
not sure and can't find information on the internet. Might be used of a 500W
rated remote ATU at base will allow 500W or could the antenna construction
of that G5RV be limiting?

My other antenna is a DX Engineering 43ft vertical which looks to be rated
to 1500W with a different remote base ATU.

All of my Common Mode Chokes are rated to 500W or more. My current
connectors are PL-259/SO239. I might need to replace a few lightning
arresters rated 400W PEP?

Appreciate advise and comments - especially if the bump from 100W to 500W
will be worth the trouble!
