Multiple (4 to 6) antenna connectors is a nice feature of Expert amps. Once
you have antenna matched, QSY to up to 2-3 antennas per band is automatic.
The psychological effect is astounding, as trying to get SWR as close to 1:1
is becoming a waste of time. In my Expert 2k-fa I have 5 antennas connected. 

Having two antenna connectors is probably enough for heavy duty contesters
where sophisticated antenna selection together with SO2R  is done
externally.

However, Elecraft can provide several logical antennas software selected,
with each one matched separately. They can also come with an external
switch.  

Only 2 connectors is a reason why I am not placing the order for KPA1500.
