I don't think the "AM Window" would be so bad if it was a little wider, like around 40 or 50 KHZ. Right now it seems like the most you can have in the 20 KHZ window is 3 simultaneous AM QSO's without having overlap. When K1MAN is on, that number gets knocked down to 1 or 2. Of course, the sidebanders might not tolerate any more space dedicated to AM.

Dave's on the ball. And come join "bunches" of us most weekends somewhere below 3860. There more to AM than just 20 KHz of operating frequencies. You might even convert a sidebander or two to press that AM button on their rig.
