[Elecraft] KAT1500

My KAT500 is the hub of my station.  I can switch one of numerous radios into it, it then selects the proper antenna and tuning solution with a single dit from non-Elecraft gear.  I can bring my KX2 into the living room in the comfort of my LazyBoy, and in the shack the KAT500 does the tuning and antenna switching remotely while I band hop with no extra cable.  Marvelous.
I was very disappointed that the KPA1500 only has two antenna sockets.
So, dear Elecraft, hear my plea:. Take all the good parts of the KAT500, perhaps add a 4th antenna position and multiple inputs that switch themselves automatically. Add the same tight integration with the KPA1500.  Is an internal 1500w/10sec dummy load  possible?  A port for an additional massive inductor for 437kHz?  Maybe a Kool-Aid dispenser? 
What do folks think?  Am I the only one who would immediately buy this product, gladly wait for months, and happily endure endless reflector posts about delayed shipping?  🤩
