I would be very happy with a KPA1000.

I realize and agree with all of what you said... I would ONLY want to
see the piece produced if it made sense for both sides of the
equation... I wouldn't want anything to be done that might jeopardize
the company's viability/longevity.
I want them to be here LONG after I'm gone... Hopefully, long after my
sons have wrung the last bit of usefulness from all my Elecraft gear
that I leave behind! :)
But I'm still pulling for them to be presented with a way to put one of
these in my hands!

Lots of possible reasons why Elecraft might not do a 1500, but
specifically price breaks and unwillingness to adopt a product that
from other manufacturers has proven problematic at our price range for
well understood reasons. Elecraft has been conservative about
introductions, and that plays well for what they *do* produce.
Ignore the boo-bird gallery on this reflector and note long term
performance of other ham manufacturers including near death brushes or
full on encounters with bankruptcy. Elecraft *grew* their business
during the great recession. Financially stable and responsive to
customers with great products. Hard to find combo, generally.
Personally I'll let 'em do whatever they want (as if I could really
affect that). They *might* put out a 1500, which I would buy in a
heartbeat for the integration. But it wouldn't be a hacksaw job and it
wouldn't put their balance sheet near the edge, and it *would* have
gotten past all those issues that 1500's seem to be dogged with.
