Apparently the principals at Elecraft have decided, quite some time ago,
not to offer a 1500W amp.
If you want an SSPA that will do 1.5K spend the $8K for the SPE 2KFA.
If you think Elecraft can produce an amp of that caliber for less than
$8K I've got some lakefront property for sale.
There simply aren't enough hams ready, willing and able to spend that
kind of money to make it economically viable.
They'll get killed by the amp competition. As soon as all the fan boys
with money are exhausted the market will dry up.
$8K+ for an Elecraft SSPA or less than half that for an Ameritron
AL-1500...and before you go down the "Ameritron is crap" road... a
bunch of real famous contesters use the AL-1500 and win with it.

How many people would it take to put $1000 or $2000 down toward a KPA1500
for Elecraft to produce it? I would, for one. And, I think I'm hearing
quite a few people who would be in line for one, even knowing that the amp
would be considerably more expensive than the KPA500. It sounds like a lot
of the ground work is already done in the prototype. Wayne had his way with
the QRP KX3...now it's Eric's turn... hi hi. Eric or Wayne -- comment??
